The Almanac's Take

Two games on the board today, so the note is short by design. The Cole-Boston matchup is the headline: the Red Sox post a .718 lineup OPS against him with five hitters holding a platoon edge, the highest both figures on today's slate. Duran is 3-for-23 against Cole lifetime — a small sample that reads more as noise than signal — while Yoshida's 5-for-13 with a homer is even thinner at 13 PA and should be treated the same way. Detroit against Teng sits at .692 with six platoon-advantage bats, a neutral label but a quietly serviceable left-right split worth checking in the grid below.

How to read this page

Primary read is the lineup strength block — season OPS, lineup K%, and platoon-edge count across the opposing lineup. When enough Statcast PA is on file, the lineup composite vs the pitcher's hand sits alongside it.

Career head-to-head reads as color, not edge. PA count travels with every H2H number on this page so a 4-for-7 sample looks like the small sample it is. The “notable H2H” highlight list is filtered to PA ≥ 10 for that reason.
