WEEK AHEAD: Hitter Matchups, May 17-23
May 16 2021
Our Week Ahead Matchup Tool (Teams Week Ahead from the top menu bar) is a team-level look at the coming week... from a hitter's perspective. It combines daily matchup ratings from the 8-day view of our Starting Pitcher Matchup Tool with Park Factors to give general guidance when planning your weekly lineups.
NOTE: Start/sit decisions and weekly FAAB pickups should be limited to the last few spots on your active roster. Skills trump everything else, so don't sit one of your studs for a fringe hitter just because of a better matchup.
Definitions for the tool below:
- Opponents: Opposing teams and home/away for the week, in chronological order.
- Games: Total number of games played for the upcoming week.
- Rating: Average SP matchup rating...
