: The first baseman is a prime candidate to put a ball into the outfield seats when he brings his lifetime .805 OPS against right-handers (.686 vs. lefties) into a matchup with Indians fly-ball-prone righty (4.75 ERA, 2.1 HR/9 rate in 2016).
: The slugger has long fared best vs. right-handers, against whom he owns a lifetime .814 OPS (.753 vs. lefties). Morales could rip his 29th round-tripper of the season or drive in multiple runs when he tangles with the homer-prone righty Tomlin (career 1.6 HR/9 rate).

: From a premium lineup spot, the outfielder could reach base often and score multiple runs when he brings his lifetime .791 OPS against right-handers (.710 vs. lefties) into a matchup at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park against rookie righty (5.64 ERA, 1.48 WHIP). Eaton could also have success late in the game vs. a Phillies bullpen that ranks 25th in baseball with a 4.53 ERA.

: Hitting .308 with 30 homers and 15 steals across 531 plate appearances, the outfielder continues to be one of the most productive players in baseball.

: With a .286 batting average and 56 steals across 626 plate appearances, the third baseman is putting the finishing touches on a breakout season.

: As a big leaguer, the first baseman has produced a .202 ISO against right-handers that exceeds his .139 mark vs. lefties. Moreland could go deep or drive in multiple runs when he bats at his hitter-friendly home park against Angels rookie righty (7.04 ERA, 1.78 WHIP).
: The second-year outfielder will be in prime position to improve on his solid .796 OPS against right-handers (.562 vs. lefties) when he tangles with the inexperienced righty Wright (23 innings) and an Angels bullpen that is working without injured anchors and .
