Matt Carpenter vs. Kenley Jansen — Matchup Analysis
Kenley Jansen has kept Carpenter in check relative to their career standard. With only 6 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Jansen. An OPS of 0.833 is a solid mark overall, but it sits 2% below where Carpenter typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Carpenter striking out less often than usual, once every 6 PA versus a career rate of once every 4.7 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Jansen. Slight edge: Jansen.
