Best MLB Triples Matchups — Monday, August 24, 2026
Top triples spot: Corbin Carroll
Corbin Carroll (AZ) tops the board at 99, facing RHP Kevin Gausman. The lefty is running the bases at .024 3B/PA against righties this year — and .037 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a triple in about 2% 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.

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.
