🎯 PITCHING SIM

Jesús Luzardo:

6.2 IP | 6 H | 3 ER | 2 BB | 8 K

🔥 8 K is live. His current strikeout form is the strongest pitching angle in this game.

Hunter Dobbins:

5.1 IP | 8 H | 4 ER | 2 BB | 4 K

Philadelphia’s first four are where I expect most of the damage.

💣 HR EXTRACTOR

1. Bryce Harper 🔥🔥🔥

Lefty-on-righty matchup against Dobbins. Best combination of power + park + lineup position.

2. Kyle Schwarber 🔥🔥🔥

Same-handedness as Harper isn’t relevant here—Dobbins is a RHP, giving both lefties the platoon side.

3. Joshua Báez 🔥🔥

👀 THIS is my ULX shot. He just became the first MLB player ever to homer three times in his debut, only five days ago. The raw power is very real.

4. Ivan Herrera 🔥🔥

This one interests me a lot against Luzardo. A current projection source specifically flags Herrera’s opposite-hand/platoon advantage against Luzardo and rates his overall offensive talent extremely highly.

💣 6–9 SPOT SNAGGER

#1 Brandon Marsh — batting 7th

This is the hidden one.

Marsh gets the LHB vs RHP advantage against Dobbins, and today’s projections specifically flag that handedness edge.

SNAGGER RANKING

1. B. Marsh — HR

2. J. Realmuto — HR

3. E. Pereira — HR

4. B. Stott — HR

👉 Marsh is the dude I’d actually sprinkle.

🏃 SB SNAGGER

1. Trea Turner — SB 🔥🔥🔥

2. J.J. Wetherholt — SB 🔥🔥

3. Brandon Marsh — SB 🔥

4. Justin Crawford — SB 🔥

Turner is my cleanest stolen-base path if we’re forcing one.

🚀 ALT-LINE ATTACK

Luzardo 8+ K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Harper 4 TB ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Schwarber 4 TB ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Turner 3 Hits ⭐⭐⭐

Arraez 2 Hits ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Herrera 2 Hits ⭐⭐⭐

Báez 4 TB ⭐⭐⭐

Arraez is especially interesting as a contact/RBI piece: he’s hitting fourth, and today’s available numbers have him at a .314 average with only a 4.4% strikeout rate.

☢️ ULX NUKE PATH

Jesús Luzardo — 8+ K

Bryce Harper — 4+ TB

Joshua Báez — 4+ TB

That is the three-man ceiling shot.

🧪 THE WEIRD ONE

Ivan Herrera 3 Hits + Luis Arraez 3 Hits

Both are sitting in premium contact environments, and Herrera gets the platoon edge against Luzardo.

ULX GAME CALL: PHI 5-3.

And bro — Báez is exactly the type of late-season dude we were just talking about. Young player gets his opportunity and suddenly he’s playing every AB like his future roster spot depends on it. Three HR in his MLB debut and now he’s hitting cleanup. That’s the profile I want to keep hunting late in the year.
