Albies has faced Lugo 19 times, with a total OPS of .728. Conversely, Altuve has no plate appearances against Lively so tough to reliably predict this one. Lean on the other splits on this page.
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. In Altuve's game, our HRForce Index at first pitch is 1.4 (40% more HRs expected). Meanwhile, Albies will be playing under an HRForce of 1.2 (20% more HRs expected). So, the ball will be flying better in Altuve's game. Weather edge goes to him.
Weekly Roster Lock Leagues
For those of you in leagues that require you to set your lineup before the start of each week, day offs can be a bummer. Everything else being equal, give the edge to players that play at least one more game a week. For the M-F week that includes 9/28/24, Altuve has 6 games scheduled, while Albies has 5. So, with one more game, that could make a difference, especially in H2H leagues where you need to pile up points. Slight advantage to Altuve.
