expecting a yuge game from Markakis
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Pen currently consists of:
Righties: Jackson, Webb, Winkler, Parsons, Tomlin
Lefties: Newk, Venters, Biddle
This Cards lineup is strongly right handed. With the significant exception of Matt Carpenter. He is hitting lefties better this year but that's misleading. He has pretty pronounced conventional splits for his career. Their other lefty is Kolten Wong, who has pronounced conventional splits. Dexter Fowler is a switch hitter who for his career hits lefties slightly better. The best matchup against a switch hitter is a pitcher with reverse splits. Biddle would be our man.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Braves batters xwOBA vs RHP in 2019 (min 50 PAs):
Brian McCann 0.403
Nick Markakis 0.396
Freddie Freeman 0.395
Ronald Acuna Jr. 0.385
Tyler Flowers 0.377
Josh Donaldson 0.377
Dansby Swanson 0.359
Ozzie Albies 0.325
Johan Camargo 0.272
Ender Inciarte 0.259
We are at the point in the season where this data should be informing the lineup.
Markakis batting 5th vs a RHP is a bad move, as is Albies hitting in front of Mac.
The lineup vs RHP should be:
Markakis
Acuna
Freeman
Donaldson
Mac
Swanson
Albies
Ender
