Chase Anderson allowing a .401 wOBA to RH bats, but his .197 BABIP vs. LHs suggests he's vulnerable to both sides
The Phillies are normally a team we pick on with opposing pitchers, but this may actually be a rare occurrence where several of the Phillies bats are in play. Chase Anderson has been getting beat up from both sides of the plate, as he allows a .401 wOBA to RH bats (including a 38.2 hard%) and owns an identical 5.51 FIP against both right and left handed hitters. While he has held LH bats to a solid .308 wOBA, he's benefiting from a .197 BABIP, a number that will be on the rise very soon if his hard contact rate doesn't improve (he's allowing a 35.2 hard% to LHs). On the Philadelphia side, we'll want some exposure to the top five bats in this lineup. Odubel Herrera has been one of the few bright spots for the Phillies offensively thus far, and he's been considerably better against RHP as we can see with his .408 wOBA and 157 wRC+ (compared to a .313 wOBA and 93 wRC+ vs. LHs). While he's not cheap, he provides plenty of upside atop the Phillies order. Andres Blanco, Jimmy Paredes (where he's available) and Tommy Joseph all provide salary relief in prime lineup spots, so while they aren't "safe" targets, they do possess nice upside given the price tags. Paredes is making his Phillies debut tonight and they'll throw him into the fire immediately, slotting him third ahead of Maikel Franco.
