Best MLB Triples Matchups — Monday, August 10, 2026
Top triples spot: Michael Massey
Michael Massey (KC) tops the board at 100, facing LHP Tarik Skubal. The lefty is running the bases at .015 3B/PA against lefties this year — and .143 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a triple in about 2% of his trips. And Tarik Skubal has been tough to triple against lefties lately — .000 triples 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 4.0 trips, so the volume's there. He's owned Tarik Skubal too — .333 across 6 career trips. It all sets up in a park that leans hitter.

- Geraldo Perdomo (AZ) (100) vs RHP Gabriel Hughes: an elite bat at .021 into an arm with little track record against the same side.

How to read these triples matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's triples 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.
