Raleigh has been the bat Lopez cannot put away, and tonight is another swing at it. Tiny sample, so treat it as directional, not definitive. The 3.400 career OPS against this pitcher backs up the rest. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 215). Bottom line: Raleigh owns this matchup against Lopez. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 2. Eugenio Suárez (CIN) vs Shane Drohan (LHP) 0.600 AVG, 2.314 OPS in 5 career AB | American Family Field | **1+ Hit (minus 117)** *Career: 3-for-5 · .600 · 1 HR · 3 XBH · 2.314 OPS · 1 K · 2 BB* Suárez is 3-for-5 (.600) lifetime against Drohan.

Lee is 6-for-13 against Pivetta with the kind of contact that drives runs. Moderate sample, and a real pattern is emerging. A home run every 13 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 13 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. When the sample says this much, you trust it. Lee has Pivetta's number. I'm on his hit prop tonight. > Look up any pitcher vs batter career history on the [Hitter vs Pitcher dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## 4.

That is run producing dominance, not noise. Moderate sample, and a real pattern is emerging. 3 extra base hits in 18 AB. When he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 259). Verdict: give me Merrill every time he steps in against Webb.
