So, should you choose Henderson or Witt Jr. (3/27/26)?
Batter vs pitcher
Henderson has a day off, be sure to start Witt Jr..
Weather impact
Heavy wind (blowing out), hot temps, ballpark elevation, etc can all have a big impact on long fly balls. An extra few feet can be the difference between warning track and a 3-run dinger. Henderson has a day off, no weather stress. Meanwhile, Witt Jr. will be playing under an HRForce of 1.5 [50% more HRs expected].
Weekly Roster Lock Leagues
For those of you in leagues that require you to set your lineup before the start of each week, off-days can be a bummer. Everything else being equal, give the edge to guys that play at least one more game a week. For the Mon-Sun week that includes 3/27/26, Henderson has 3 games scheduled, while Witt Jr. has 3. With the same number of games, they roughly carry the same potential value for the week.
