Weiss Goes RHH-Heavy vs. Perez, Benches Jarvis and Yaz
San Francisco's manager loads the lineup with right-handed bats to exploit Eury Perez's platoon splits and changeup vulnerability.
Manager Weiss has constructed a right-handed-heavy lineup for tonight's game against Marlins starter Eury Perez. Left-handed hitters Jarvis and Yastrzemski are both sitting. Perez holds a .592 OPS against LHHs but a .731 OPS against RHHs, and LHHs bat just .120 with a .120 SLG against his changeup. Perez rarely throws the changeup to RHHs because they have historically hit it well.
