Nolan Gorman vs Freddy Peralta

The Almanac's Take

Gorman gets the platoon edge as a lefty against Peralta's right hand, but his season line — .209/.293/.626 OPS across 198 PA — makes that edge hard to cash. The strikeout concern is real at 31.3%, and Peralta's 9.2 K/9 this year doesn't soften it. The head-to-head is only 16 PA, so the 3-for-12 batting line and four walks are color, not signal. What's mildly interesting is an 86.6 mph average exit velocity in those meetings — not a guy squaring Peralta up. Season form points away from Gorman here.
