What are the best MLB singles matchups today (Tuesday, August 11, 2026)?

The top singles matchups on Tuesday, August 11, 2026: Chandler Simpson (100), Drake Baldwin (84), Wade Meckler (82), Cole Young (81), Brice Turang (77). The full board ranks every hitter in every game by singles upside.

Which hitters have a platoon edge today?

Chandler Simpson (TB) — lefty bat vs RHP, .263 against righties this year. Drake Baldwin (ATL) — lefty bat vs RHP, .181 against righties this year. Brice Turang (MIL) — lefty bat vs RHP, .147 against righties this year. Luis Arraez (PHI) — lefty bat vs RHP, .219 against righties this year. Jonathan Aranda (TB) — lefty bat vs RHP, .171 against righties this year.

How is the singles matchup score calculated?

It's a weighted read of the hitter's singles per plate appearance against the hand he's facing — the last two weeks, the current season, and a two-year baseline, with recent form counting most. Then it folds in the opposing bullpen, his expected plate appearances from the batting order, and park and weather. Scores are set 0–100 across the day's slate, so the best matchup is always 100.

What does 1B/PA mean?

Singles per plate appearance — how often a hitter gets a one-base hit. Around .14 (roughly one every seven trips) is league average. It rewards contact hitters rather than sluggers: a single is the most common hit in baseball, so this board tends to favour high-average bats over power.

What does the score actually mean?

Higher is better for the hitter. 80s and 90s mean the bat, the pitcher, and the park all line up. 40s and 50s mean it's neutral to tough. It's a ranking of how today's spots stack up against each other — not the odds of a single.

What's the confidence meter?

It's how much data is behind the call — sample size on both the hitter and the pitcher, plus whether the lineup's official. A high score with low confidence is a thinner read than the same score backed by a deep track record. It's not a probability of a single.

What is a platoon split (handedness split)?

Most hitters do better against the opposite hand — a lefty bat vs. a righty arm, and vice versa. That gap is the platoon split. The score leans hard on each hitter's rate against the hand he's facing today, which is why the same guy can rank very differently day to day.

What are park factors?

Parks aren't neutral. Dimensions, altitude, and weather make some easier to hit in than others. Above 1.00 bumps the score, below 1.00 trims it — same hitter, higher grade in a hitter's park than a pitcher's.

What do "2W", "SZN" and "2Y" mean?

The timeframes behind each rate: the last two weeks (recent form), the current season, and a trailing two years (a stable baseline). Recent form counts most, and small samples get pulled toward league average so a hot week doesn't fool the model.

What do "≈ est", "Due" and "Not starting" mean?

"≈ est" is a hitter we don't have splits for yet — a rookie or unmatched ID — shown at a league-baseline estimate instead of dropped. "Due" means he hasn't recorded a single in a while and profiles for regression. "Not starting" means he was projected but didn't make the official lineup, so he slides to the bottom where you can still look him up.

Can I use this for singles props or DFS?

That's what it's built for — pre-slate research. The board surfaces which hitters have the best conditions today, and where one exists, we show the book's "1+ single" line so you can shop the price. We're not a sportsbook and we don't post picks — we show the matchup data, the line, and the result. (Best-price and all-book odds are a Pro feature.)

How accurate is the model?

We grade every board against real results, and the top of the board lands a single a lot more often than the slate as a whole. Weights get re-tuned weekly against actual outcomes on a held-out split, and since results sit next to projections, you can audit the hit rate yourself on any past date.

When do lineups update?

Projected lineups (marked "Proj") come from each team's last game. Official lineups usually drop about two hours before first pitch, and the board updates itself as they post. Batting order is a big driver, so it's worth a second look mid-afternoon — rankings shift as lineups lock.

Best MLB Singles Matchups — Tuesday, August 11, 2026

Chandler Simpson (TB) is the top singles matchup on the Tuesday, August 11, 2026 board at 100, with Drake Baldwin (ATL) and Wade Meckler (LAA) right behind. Every hitter on the slate is ranked by singles upside — the arm and bullpen they face, batting order, park, and weather. It's the read DFS and prop players make before lock.

Top singles spot: Chandler Simpson

Chandler Simpson (TB) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Mason Barnett. The lefty is lining singles at .263 1B/PA against righties this year — and .400 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a single in about 24% of his trips. And Mason Barnett has been tough to string hits off righties lately — .111 singles per batter faced. The bullpen behind him is roughly average to that side. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.5 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Mason Barnett. It all sets up in a neutral park.

The rest of the top of the board

Drake Baldwin (ATL) (84) vs RHP Nolan McLean: an excellent bat at .178 into an arm getting picked apart by the same side (.239).
Wade Meckler (LAA) (82) vs LHP Cody Bradford: a strong bat at .166 into an arm getting picked apart by the same side (.333).
Cole Young (SEA) (81) vs LHP Ryan Weathers: an excellent bat at .189 into an arm prone to base hits from the same side (.154).
Brice Turang (MIL) (77) vs RHP Walker Buehler: a strong bat at .159 into an arm getting picked apart by the same side (.294).
Luis Arraez (PHI) (70) vs RHP Andre Pallante: an elite bat at .194 into an arm tough to string hits off the same side (.069), due to bounce back.
Austin Martin (MIN) (69) vs RHP Brandon Young: a solid bat at .147 into an arm getting picked apart by the same side (.250).
Jonathan Aranda (TB) (69) vs RHP Mason Barnett: an excellent bat at .179 into an arm tough to string hits off the same side (.111), hot bat.

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 singles matchups

Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's singles 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.
