San Diego @ San Francisco picks

Machado is hitting .304 against those pitches on the season, and his expected batting average of .337 suggests it’s no fluke. Quite the contrary – he probably deserves even better results. Machado hasn’t hit for a ton of power against that mix, but he’s rarely struck out and consistently makes good contact, allowing him to hit for such a high average. He has been a force in the H+R+R market all season long, clearing his line at a remarkably 67% clip while averaging 2.3 along the way. His hit rate – and per-game average – is actually higher in road games. Roupp has allowed a .289 batting average against righties like Machado. He’s done a good job of limiting power, but the hits have been there consistently. Machado is hitting better than .300 against righties on the season and profiles well against Roupp.
