Best MLB Doubles Matchups — Monday, September 14, 2026
Top doubles spot: Luke Keaschall
Luke Keaschall (MIN) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Will Warren. The righty is driving the ball at .042 2B/PA against righties this year — and .108 over the last two weeks, an excellent bat that turns into a double in about 6% of his trips. And Will Warren has been getting squared up by righties lately — .080 doubles per batter faced. One catch: the bullpen behind him has been stingy to that side late. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.7 trips, so the volume's there. He's just .000 in 3 career PA against Will Warren, but that's a tiny sample and the matchup says regression. It all sets up in a neutral park.

Lineup watch
180 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.
