Best MLB Doubles Matchups — Tuesday, July 14, 2026
Top doubles spot: Kyle Schwarber
Kyle Schwarber (NL) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Dylan Cease. The lefty is driving the ball at — 2B/PA against righties this year, a solid bat that turns into a double in about 5% of his trips. And Dylan Cease has been thin against righties lately. The bullpen behind him is roughly average to that side. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.7 trips, so the volume's there. He's just .188 in 16 career PA against Dylan Cease, but that's a tiny sample and the matchup says regression. It all sets up in a neutral park, weather helping.

How to read these doubles matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's doubles 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.
