Love today’s matchup for Oneil Cruz vs Brady Singer. Singer has always struggled more vs Lefties & he’s allowing a .366 AVG to them so far this season. He’s also struggled more on the road in each of the last 4 seasons. He’s also allowed a high xBA (.295) & xERA (5.35) & is not getting many Whiffs (21%) or Ks (14.2%). This is good for a guy like Oneil Cruz who swings & misses a ton (1st Percentile Whiff%). In 11 PAs, Cruz is 4 for 9 (.444 AVG) with 2 Walks & only 2 Ks. Singer has allowed 3+ Runs in 5/6 career starts vs PIT, allowing 4+ in the 2 most recent games last season, so I think the PIT offense can find success.
