Nolan Gorman vs Freddy Peralta

The Almanac's Take

Gorman gets the platoon edge here as a lefty against Peralta's right hand, but his season line is a tough backdrop — .198/.286/.602 OPS across 210 PA, with a 32.4% strikeout rate that's a genuine concern against Peralta's 9.0 K/9. Peralta has been hittable this year (4.49 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 15 HR allowed in 104.1 IP), so the platoon edge and walk rate — Gorman at 11.0% BB, Peralta at 3.8 BB/9 — are the real levers. The H2H is just 16 PA, too thin to mean much; the 3-for-12 batting line there is color, not signal.
