Rhys Hoskins vs Trevor Rogers

The Almanac's Take

Hoskins gets the platoon edge here as a right-handed bat against Rogers' left-handed delivery, and that's the real foundation of this matchup. The season numbers are a mixed bag — Hoskins is hitting .187 with a 31.5% strikeout rate, though his 14.7% walk rate keeps his OBP at .307. Rogers has been hittable in 2024, posting a 4.28 ERA and 1.3 WHIP across 96.2 innings, and he's surrendered 10 home runs already. The 27-PA head-to-head is a small sample but worth a footnote: Hoskins is 9-for-25 with 4 home runs and a 91.4 mph average exit velocity against him, which at minimum aligns with the platoon read rather than contradicting it.
