Cesar Vargas has performed much better agains LHBs, facing only 2 in the D-Backs lineup
Cesar Vargas has performed better against RHB than LHB so far in his young career. He has an xFIP of 5.63 against RHB, compared to an xFIP of 2.48 against LHB. Vargas's K%. 26%, against LHB is much more impressive than his 12% K% versus RHBs. The Diamondback's lineup only has two left-handed batters, so Vargas may struggle if he maintains his one-sided splits he has displayed early in the 2016 season. Players like Jean Segura, Paul Goldschmidt, and Wellington Castillo should be considered viable options tonight against Vargas.
Ryan Braun is again absent from the Brewers's lineup
Without Ryan Braun in the lineup, Jonathon Lucroy will bat third for the Brewers today against Cesar Vargas. Vargas's sample size is small enough that statisticians will inform you that the sample size is too small to be significant. However, we can at least focus on the exceptionally small 8.5% K% Vargas has against RHB over 10 innings. This is good news for RHBs like Lucroy and Chris Carter, who will be batting 3rd and 4th in the Brewers's lineup, respectively.
