Marlon Byrd vs. John Franco — Matchup Analysis
John Franco has kept Byrd in check relative to their career standard. With only 6 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Franco. 0.333 is a solid batting line, but the OPS of 0.667 sits 12% below where Byrd typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Byrd striking out less often than usual, once every 6 PA versus a career rate of once every 5 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Franco. Slight edge: Franco.
