Top fantasy score spot: Nick Kurtz
Nick Kurtz (ATH) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Tomoyuki Sugano. The lefty is piling up fantasy points at 2.250 fantasy/PA against righties this year — and 2.800 over the last two weeks, an excellent bat worth about 2.17 fantasy points a trip. And Tomoyuki Sugano has been getting lit up by righties lately — 2.556 fantasy points per batter faced. The bullpen behind him hasn't been any better to that side, so there's no relief late. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.5 trips, so the volume's there. He's owned Tomoyuki Sugano too — .333 across 3 career trips. It all sets up in a neutral park, weather helping.

How to read these fantasy score matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's fantasy points per plate appearance against the hand he's facing — weighted toward the last two weeks, then the season, then a two-year baseline. Then it layers in the bullpen, his spot in the order, and park and weather. Higher means more of it points his way. It's context, not a lock — a great spot still goes 0-for-4 sometimes, and a tough one runs into one. The edge is in stacking the odds, and since we grade every board, you can see how often the top of the list delivers.
