Best MLB Doubles Matchups — Friday, September 11, 2026
Top doubles spot: Chase DeLauter
Chase DeLauter (CLE) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Taj Bradley. The lefty is driving the ball at .055 2B/PA against righties this year — and .250 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a double in about 8% of his trips. And Taj Bradley has been tough to drive against righties lately — .000 doubles 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 Taj Bradley too — .333 across 6 career trips. It all sets up in a neutral park.

Lineup watch
270 of today's hitters are still on projected lineups, drawn from each team's last game. Batting order drives the score, so these flip the moment official lineups post — usually about two hours before first pitch. Anyone who doesn't make the official card gets flagged "Not starting" and drops to the bottom.
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.
