Recently, Jackie Bradley has been staying in the Boston Red Sox lineup against southpaws, and he even held down the five hole against Francisco Liriano the last time the team faced a lefty.
His season-long output off lefties looks pretty good, too, as Bradley is sporting a .338 average and .414 wOBA in lefty-lefty clashes. But he's producing those numbers in spite of some ugly batted-ball stats.
| Bradley Splits | Hard-Hit Rate | Fly-Ball Rate | Average | wOBA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vs. RHP | 39.0% | 40.3% | .244 | .313 |
| Vs. LHP | 33.3% | 23.5% | .338 | .414 |
Despite what the end results tell us, Bradley isn't hitting the ball well against lefties, and he's facing southpaw James Paxton tonight. Paxton has been straight flames against same-sided sticks, holding them to a measly .195 wOBA and 20.5% hard-hit rate.
If Boston's recent lineup trends hold true, Bradley will be in there tonight, and he's a hitter to avoid. But no matter what lineup the Red Sox roll out, you don't want a piece of any of their left-handed hitters against Paxton.
