Julio Rodríguez (SEA) vs Reid Detmers (LHP) 0.462 AVG, 1.409 OPS in 13 career AB | Angel Stadium | **2+ Hits (+189)** *Career: 6-for-13 · .462 · 1 HR · 3 XBH · 1.409 OPS · 3 K · 3 BB* When OPS hits 1.409 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Rodríguez is 6-for-13 against Detmers 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. 3 extra base hits in 13 AB. When he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry. Verdict: give me Rodríguez every time he steps in against Detmers. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 2. Spencer Torkelson (DET) vs José Soriano (RHP) 0.333 AVG, 1.333 OPS in 6 career AB | Rogers Centre *Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.333 OPS · 2 K* Torkelson's slash line against Soriano translates to a 1.333 OPS over 6 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 6 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. The take is simple. History sides hard with Torkelson here. I want him in my lineup tonight. ## 3. Teoscar Hernández (LAD) vs Nick Lodolo (LHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.458 OPS in 6 career AB | Great American Ball Park | **1+ Hit (minus 181)** *Career: 3-for-6 · .500 · 1 XBH · 1.458 OPS · 2 K · 1 BB* When OPS hits 1.458 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Hernández is 3-for-6 against Lodolo with the kind of contact that drives runs. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Played at Great American Ball Park, a hitter friendly environment. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 181). Bottom line: Hernández owns this matchup against Lodolo.

Walker has the kind of pitch recognition on this arm that does not show up against the rest of the league. Tiny sample, so treat it as directional, not definitive. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 192). Verdict: give me Walker every time he steps in against Roupp. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 5. J.P. Crawford (SEA) vs Reid Detmers (LHP) 0.400 AVG, 1.078 OPS in 20 career AB | Angel Stadium | **1+ Hit (minus 218)** *Career: 8-for-20 · .400 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.078 OPS · 3 K · 2 BB* .400 is a real number when it holds up over 20 at bats.
