Tim Adleman has posted a 5.1% K-BB% versus LHB, leading to a 6.07 xFIP

After a decent start to the 2017 campaign, Tim Adleman has pitched, well, like Tim Adleman of late, allowing three or more earned runs in each of his last seven starts. So, clearly, he still isn't the type of pitcher we need to shy away from attacking with opposing hitters. This is especially true given his matchup with a Miami Marlins squad that can certainly hold its own against right-handed pitching, ranking in the middle of the pack in wRC+, wOBA, and ISO, each of the major offensive categories. To this point in his career, Adleman has been a fly ball pitcher to left-handed batters (51.1% FB%) and owns, essentially, neutral splits to righties, though he is surrendering a lot more hard contact (36.8% HH%) against righties opposed to 31.4% against lefties. He also looks to be an average strikeout pitcher (19.4% K%) that has exhibited some questionable control (9.1% BB% in 2017), meaning that there should be expected to be a plethora of baserunners from both sides of the plate Saturday evening. Christian Yelich (112 wRC+, .347 wOBA vs RHP) is far and away the top overall option to target from this Miami lineup in all formats given his platoon advantage and long track record of crushing fly ball pitchers. He's closely followed by Marcell Ozuna (142 wRC+, .392 wOBA, .269 ISO vs RHP) and Giancarlo Stanton (139 wRC+, .388 wOBA, .299 ISO vs RHP), each possessing enough individual power to take advantage of an average pitcher like Adleman. The secondary tier of Marlins hitters looks to be J.T. Realmuto (112 wRC+, .347 wOBA vs RHP), Miguel Rojas (117 wRC+, .355 wOBA vs RHP), and even Tomas Telis, though Realmuto and Rojas have really lacked individual power, making them less appealing options on their own. Meaning, the aforementioned trio is likely better utilized as stack fillers, whereas, Yelich, Ozuna, and Stanton have tremendous upside, as always, and are viable as both one-offs and core pieces to a Marlins stack in tournaments.
