Today's matchup

Andrew is hosting Cleveland Guardians on the Wednesday, October 7, 2026 slate. He shows up on 12 boards — total bases (66.4/100), doubles (53.3/100), walks (52.6/100), rbis (47.5/100). We've got him at 1.6 on the total bases board. Open any board row for the full breakdown of what's driving it.

He's in a cold stretch

Andrew is 3-for-22 (.136) across his last 10 games, down from .245 on the season. Slumps this size are mostly noise at this sample — 22 at-bats is a fortnight, not a trend — and the model treats it that way, discounting the cold run rather than writing him off. If the matchup underneath is good, he'll still grade well here. That's a feature, and sometimes it's wrong.

What kind of hitter he is

Andrew has 14 home runs and 38 extra-base hits in 384 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 67 of 126 games he's batted in — 53% — with 20 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 .217 at home (35-for-161) and .265 on the road (59-for-223) 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.

His best game in the log

Andrew's biggest night was Monday, September 14, 2026 at CLE — 3-for-5 with 1 driven in. That's the ceiling, not the expectation. The projection you'll see on a board is closer to his typical game than his best one, which is the whole point of projecting rather than remembering.

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 — 4 times so far. He's appeared in 126 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: total bases graded 66.4/100 while stolen bases came in at 3.8/100. 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.
