Altuve, Alvarez, Tucker, and Pena have been very good hitting all season. Bregman and Brantley have been solid vs RHP but very weak vs LHP Diaz and McCormick have been very good vs LHP but mediocre vs RHP. Gurriel and catchers have been dreadful vs both. I would Play Diaz every game vs LHP. He can play 1B or 3B depending on which player Dusty wants to sit. Vs RHP Altuve Bregman Alvarez Tucker Pena Gurriel Brantley CF C Vs LHP Altuve Pena Alvarez Diaz Tucker Bregman/Gurriel McCormick CF C
6/17 vs Giolito (RHP) 1. LF L BRANTLEY, Michael 872 2. 2B R ALTUVE, Jose 853 3. DH L ALVAREZ, Yordan 1161 4. RF L TUCKER, Kyle 835 5. 3B R BREGMAN, Alex 775 6. CF R SIRI, Jose 666 7. 1B R GURRIEL, Yuli 634 8. SS R DIAZ, Aledmys 487 9. C R MALDONADO, Martin 510 We really don't have a good replacement for Pena against RHP.
Not a chance with Dusty. Probable Dusty Lineup: 1. R ALTUVE, Jose 2B 2. L BRANTLEY, Michael LF 3. R BREGMAN, Alex 3B 4. L ALVAREZ, Yordan DH 5. L TUCKER, Kyle RF 6. R GURRIEL, Yuli 1B 7. R DIAZ, Aledmys SS 8. R SIRI, Jose CF 9. R MALDONADO, Martin C
