Best MLB Triples Matchups — Monday, August 24, 2026
Top triples spot: Corbin Carroll
Corbin Carroll (AZ) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Kevin Gausman. The lefty is running the bases at .024 3B/PA against righties this year — and .067 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a triple in about 3% of his trips. And Kevin Gausman has been tough to triple against righties lately — .000 triples 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. He's just .000 in 2 career PA against Kevin Gausman, 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 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.
