Rays Lineup vs. Carlos Rodón (L)
Amed Rosario, Isaac Paredes, Curtis Mead, and Randy Arozarena face a lefty, with Rosario and Paredes showing decent wOBA and ISO. Mead’s high K% and low BB% could be a concern, while Arozarena’s 31.7 K% and 11.1 BB% highlight his volatility. The Rays’ ability to score early may impact NRFI odds. Carlos Rodón’s 23.7 K% and 7 BB% against right-handers could challenge the Rays, but his 1.68 HR/9 and 1.28 WHIP suggest vulnerability. His performance against righties will be crucial for YRFI odds, especially given his HR/9 rate.
Yankees Lineup vs. Zack Littell (R)
Ben Rice, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Alex Verdugo face a righty, with Soto and Judge showing strong wOBA and ISO. Rice’s high BB% and K% could influence early innings, while Verdugo’s moderate K% and BB% indicate steadiness. Yankees’ hitters’ power could impact NRFI odds. Zack Littell’s 21.3 K% and 4.3 BB% against left-handers may challenge the Yankees, but his 1.24 HR/9 and 1.37 WHIP suggest potential struggles. Littell’s ability to manage left-handers will be key for YRFI odds, given his HR/9 rate.
