2 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder David Peralta is starting in left field and is batting leadoff on Wednesday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff. Peralta will hit leadoff for the first time all year against a right-hander, against whom he's hitting .319 (71-for-267) with 11 of his 12 home runs and 39 RBI against in 2022. Against southpaws, he's gone just 6-for-40 (.150) with one long ball and four RBI. The matchup against Woodruff isn't the greatest, but Peralta is obviously much more attractive from a DFS perspective against a right-handed pitcher, especially out of the leadoff spot. Overall, the 34-year-old is hitting .251/.313/.450 with 12 homers, 43 RBI, 30 runs scored and one stolen base in 307 at-bats with the Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
