DAILY MATCHUPS: Hendricks looks to charm snakes

Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: A doubleheader in Colorado (SF@COL) means there will be 16 games today, and weather forecasts don’t hint at any delays and/or postponements.

 

Notable Starts: 

Kyle Hendricks has an opportunity to greatly outperform his 0.5 matchup rating today. Coming into this one, Diamondbacks hitters have Bottom-4 or worse marks in OPS, ISO, wOBA, and wRC+ when facing righties over the past 7 days. Their 10.6% walk rate against RHP in the same span is Top-10, but Hendricks has posted a 1.8 BB/9 since the beginning of August (44 IP). Although not known for his strikeout prowess, Diamondbacks hitters are recording a 27% strikeout rate against RHP that could offer a bump for Hendricks’ strikeout floor.

The Tigers TBD...
