Best MLB Doubles Matchups — Wednesday, September 2, 2026
Top doubles spot: Miguel Rojas
Miguel Rojas (LAD) tops the board at 100, facing LHP Brycen Mautz. The righty is driving the ball at .082 2B/PA against lefties this year — and .077 over the last two weeks, an excellent bat that turns into a double in about 6% of his trips. And Brycen Mautz has been thin against lefties lately. 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 4.3 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Brycen Mautz. It all sets up in a neutral park.
The rest of the top of the board
- Kyle Stowers (MIA) (100) vs LHP Noah Cameron: an elite bat at .068 into an arm tough to drive against the same side (.000).
- Kazuma Okamoto (TOR) (100) vs LHP Joey Cantillo: an elite bat at .078 into an arm tough to drive against the same side (.028).
- Roman Anthony (BOS) (99) vs RHP Bryce Miller: an elite bat at .067 into an arm keeping the ball in front of the same side (.037).
- Cole Carrigg (COL) (95) vs LHP Trevor Rogers: an elite bat at .079 into an arm prone to extra-base damage from the same side (.051), due to bounce back.

- Alika Williams (ATH) (89) vs LHP Cody Bradford: an elite bat at .074 into an arm getting squared up by the same side (.107).

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.
