David Ortiz vs. Carlos Zambrano — Matchup Analysis
Carlos Zambrano has kept Ortiz in check relative to their career standard. With only 9 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Zambrano. An OPS of 0.905 is a solid mark overall, but it sits 3% below where Ortiz typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Ortiz striking out less often than usual, once every 9 PA versus a career rate of once every 5.8 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Zambrano. Slight edge: Zambrano.
