Juan Soto (NYM) vs Eury Pérez (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 2.000 OPS in 6 career AB | loanDepot park *Career: 3-for-6 · .500 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 2.000 OPS · 1 K* Soto's slash line against Pérez translates to a 2.000 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 3 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Bottom line: Soto owns this matchup against Pérez. I want him in my lineup tonight. ## 2. José Ramírez (CLE) vs Trevor Rogers (LHP) 0.429 AVG, 1.804 OPS in 7 career AB | Oriole Park at Camden Yards | **1+ Hit (minus 240)** *Career: 3-for-7 · .429 · 2 HR · 3 XBH · 1.804 OPS · 2 K* Ramírez's slash line against Rogers translates to a 1.804 OPS over 7 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. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 240). When the sample says this much, you trust it. Ramírez has Rogers's number. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 3. Royce Lewis (MIN) vs Troy Melton (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.667 OPS in 6 career AB | Comerica Park *Career: 3-for-6 · .500 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.667 OPS* Lewis's slash line against Melton translates to a 1.667 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. When the sample says this much, you trust it. Lewis has Melton's number. I want him in my lineup tonight. > Look up any pitcher vs batter career history on the [Hitter vs Pitcher dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## 4. Kody Clemens (MIN) vs Troy Melton (RHP) 0.333 AVG, 1.666 OPS in 6 career AB | Comerica Park *Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 1.666 OPS · 1 K* A 1.666 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare, and Clemens owns it against Melton across 6 at bats. That is run producing dominance, not noise. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 3 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. When the sample says this much, you trust it. Clemens has Melton's number. I want him in my lineup tonight. ## 5. Mauricio Dubón (ATL) vs Jesús Luzardo (LHP) 0.667 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 6 career AB | Citizens Bank Park | **1+ Hit (minus 201)** *Career: 4-for-6 · .667 · 1 XBH · 1.500 OPS* A 1.500 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare, and Dubón owns it against Luzardo across 6 at bats. That is run producing dominance, not noise. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Played at Citizens Bank Park, a plus environment for hitters. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (minus 201). The take is simple. History sides hard with Dubón here. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 6. Luke Keaschall (MIN) vs Troy Melton (RHP) 0.600 AVG, 1.400 OPS in 5 career AB | Comerica Park *Career: 3-for-5 · .600 · 1 XBH · 1.400 OPS* Career batting average against Melton: .600 in 5 AB. Keaschall 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. Verdict: give me Keaschall every time he steps in against Melton. I want him in my lineup tonight. ## 7. Wilyer Abreu (BOS) vs Grayson Rodriguez (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 8 career AB | Fenway Park | **1+ Hit (minus 200)** *Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.500 OPS · 2 K* Abreu's slash line against Rodriguez 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 8 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Played at Fenway Park, where the Green Monster inflates extra base hit rates. When the sample says this much, you trust it. Abreu has Rodriguez's number. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 8. Lane Thomas (ATL) vs Jesús Luzardo (LHP) 0.409 AVG, 1.503 OPS in 22 career AB | Citizens Bank Park *Career: 9-for-22 · .409 · 4 HR · 6 XBH · 1.503 OPS · 6 K · 2 BB* History speaks plainly here: Thomas has taken Luzardo deep 4 times across 22 at bats. The matchup is the matchup. Solid sample size, and this is a reliable edge. 6 extra base hits in 22 AB. When he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry. 2 walks in 22 AB show he reads this arm well even when he is not swinging. Bottom line: Thomas owns this matchup against Luzardo. I want him in my lineup tonight. ## Hit Props to Consider - **José Ramírez 1+ Hit (minus 240)**: 0.429 career AVG vs Trevor Rogers (7 AB).
