Best MLB Triples Matchups — Monday, September 14, 2026
Top triples spot: Dustin Harris
Dustin Harris (SD) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Tomoyuki Sugano. The lefty is running the bases at .027 3B/PA against righties this year — and .036 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a triple in about 2% of his trips. And Tomoyuki Sugano has been tough to triple against righties lately — .000 triples per batter faced. One catch: the bullpen behind him has been stingy to that side late. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.5 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Tomoyuki Sugano. It all sets up in a hitter's park.
The rest of the top of the board
- Cole Carrigg (COL) (92) vs RHP Casey Mize: an elite bat at .017 into an arm tough to triple against the same side (.000), hitter's park, due to bounce back.

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.
