Trea Turner vs Brandon Pfaadt

The Almanac's Take

Turner is having a rough season — .228/.275/.625 OPS through 59 games — and he gets no platoon edge here facing fellow righty Brandon Pfaadt. That said, Pfaadt has been genuinely bad: 6.39 ERA, 1.5 WHIP, and seven home runs allowed in just 38 innings, with a walk rate of 4.0 per nine that keeps baserunners moving. The H2H is 11 plate appearances — pure noise — so the 3-for-11 line with four strikeouts tells you nothing useful. The real tension is a struggling hitter against a struggling pitcher, which usually resolves toward the pitcher's floor being lower than you'd expect given how freely Pfaadt has been hurt this year.
