Carlos Guillen vs. Joe Kennedy — Matchup Analysis
Joe Kennedy has kept Guillen in check relative to their career standard. With only 7 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Kennedy. 0.286 is a solid batting line, but the OPS of 0.714 sits 10% below where Guillen typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Guillen striking out less often than usual, once every 7 PA versus a career rate of once every 6.6 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Kennedy. Slight edge: Kennedy.
