Eugenio Suárez (CIN) vs Grant Holmes (RHP) 0.667 AVG, 2.834 OPS in 6 career AB | Great American Ball Park | **1+ Hit (-166)** *Career: 4-for-6 · .667 · 3 HR · 3 XBH · 2.834 OPS · 1 K* 3 HR in 6 AB is what a real H2H edge looks like. Suárez has been the bat Holmes cannot put away, and tonight is another swing at it. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. The 2.834 career OPS against this pitcher backs up the rest. Played at Great American Ball Park, a hitter-friendly environment. ## 2. Paul Goldschmidt (NYY) vs Luis Severino (RHP) 0.400 AVG, 1.825 OPS in 5 career AB | Sutter Health Park | **1+ Hit (-182)** *Career: 2-for-5 · .400 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.825 OPS · 1 K · 3 BB* .400 is a real number when it holds up over 5 at-bats. Goldschmidt sees something against Severino that other hitters do not. Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. A home run every 5 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-182). ## 3. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (NYY) vs Luis Severino (RHP) 0.455 AVG, 1.662 OPS in 11 career AB | Sutter Health Park | **1+ Hit (-187)** *Career: 5-for-11 · .455 · 2 HR · 3 XBH · 1.662 OPS · 1 K · 3 BB* Jr.'s slash line against Severino translates to a 1.662 OPS over 11 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play. Moderate sample — a real pattern is emerging. A home run every 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 11 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. > Look up any pitcher vs batter career history on the [Hitter vs Pitcher dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## 4. Mitch Garver (SEA) vs Zac Gallen (RHP) 0.375 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 8 career AB | T-Mobile Park | **1+ Hit (-108)** *Career: 3-for-8 · .375 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 1.500 OPS · 1 K* Garver's slash line against Gallen translates to a 1.500 OPS over 8 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 4 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 8 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. ## 5. Seiya Suzuki (CHC) vs Andre Pallante (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.306 OPS in 8 career AB | Busch Stadium | **1+ Hit (-198)** *Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 2 XBH · 1.306 OPS · 1 BB* When OPS hits 1.306 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Suzuki is 4-for-8 against Pallante with the kind of contact that drives runs. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Only 0 strikeouts in 8 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-198). ## 6. Aaron Judge (NYY) vs Luis Severino (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.556 OPS in 8 career AB | Sutter Health Park | **1+ Hit (-254)** *Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.556 OPS · 3 K · 1 BB* Judge's slash line against Severino translates to a 1.556 OPS over 8 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 8 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-254). ## 7. Mark Vientos (NYM) vs Max Meyer (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.292 OPS in 6 career AB | Citi Field | **1+ Hit (-152)** *Career: 3-for-6 · .500 · 1 XBH · 1.292 OPS · 1 BB* When OPS hits 1.292 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously.

Mike Yastrzemski (ATL) vs Chris Paddack (RHP) 0.400 AVG, 1.324 OPS in 25 career AB | Great American Ball Park | **1+ Hit (-157)** *Career: 10-for-25 · .400 · 3 HR · 6 XBH · 1.324 OPS · 4 K · 2 BB* History speaks plainly here: Yastrzemski has taken Paddack deep 3 times across 25 at-bats. The matchup is the matchup. Solid sample size — this is a reliable edge. 6 extra-base hits in 25 AB — when he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry. 2 walks in 25 AB show he reads this arm well even when he is not swinging. ## Hit Props to Consider - **Eugenio Suárez 1+ Hit (-166)** — 0.667 career AVG vs Grant Holmes (6 AB).
