Today's matchup

Andrew is hosting New York Mets on the Sunday, August 23, 2026 slate. He shows up on 12 boards — rbis (83.7/100, #14), h+r+rbi (61.1/100, #68), walks (59.3/100, #40), runs (47.4/100, #82). We've got him at 0.5 on the rbis board. That's one of the stronger spots on the board today. Open any board row for the full breakdown of what's driving it.

Recent form

Andrew is 8-for-30 (.267) over his last 10 games, in line with his .252 season line. No hot streak to fade, no slump to buy — the matchup is doing the work in his score, which is the normal case. The full game log is below.

What kind of hitter he is

Andrew has 12 home runs and 30 extra-base hits in 305 at-bats this season. That profile is why he grades better on the total-bases and home-run boards than his batting average alone would suggest — those boards reward damage, not just contact. Park and weather matter more for a hitter like him too, and both feed the score.

He's a left-handed bat

Andrew hits from the left side, and that's the first thing the model looks at. Left-handed hitters see right-handed pitching most nights, which is the favourable side — so a lefty bat's baseline is set against righties, and drawing a left-handed starter is a genuine downgrade rather than a rounding error. When you see his score fall on a day he's still in the lineup, an opposing lefty is usually why. Handedness also shapes the park read: pull-side geometry matters more for a left-handed swing than the raw park factor suggests.

Floor and ceiling

Andrew has recorded at least one hit in 56 of 96 games he's batted in — 58% — with 16 multi-hit games among them. That's a boom-or-bust profile. He'll carry a game outright and then go quiet for three, so his hits-board score tends to sit below hitters with worse power and better contact.

Home and away

Andrew is hitting .229 at home (30-for-131) and .270 on the road (47-for-174) across the season. There's not much in it, which is the normal case. Home-road splits get talked about far more than they hold up.

No graded record on him yet

We haven't ranked Andrew a top-20 hitter matchup often enough this season to have a record worth publishing — 2 times so far. He's appeared in 96 graded games, so the log below is real; there just isn't a track record on our calls to show. It'll build here if the matchups start landing his way.

Where he lands across our boards

Andrew was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: rbis graded 83.7/100 while stolen bases came in at 0.6/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.

How the model reads him

Take the name off Andrew and the model still produces the same number, because it's scoring the matchup rather than the player. His splits against this handedness, what the opposing starter and bullpen actually allow, how many plate appearances he's likely to get, the park, the weather, how he's swinging lately. All of it lands on a 0–100 scale against everyone else playing today. We don't publish how it's weighted. We publish every result it produces.

What we'd flag

Three caveats worth carrying. Not every player gets a posted line — book coverage runs to about 87% for confirmed starters, so a blank line is the market's silence, not ours. Lineup changes land late enough to strand a projection published hours earlier. And judging any of this on a single night is meaningless; the model is tuned on hundreds of settled outcomes. For Andrew specifically, we don't have a meaningful graded record on him yet.
