Brice Turang

Turang is 1-for-8 career vs Wheeler (.125 AVG, .250 OPS) with zero extra-base hits. His two-season sample shows consistent struggles: 2023 (2 PA, 0.000 OPS), 2024 (6 PA, .334 OPS in a small set that still produced just one hit). Season average of .264 doesn't translate against an elite arm he has demonstrably struggled to read. Under at +112 has value.

Turang's vL OPS is 0.602 vs his vR OPS of 0.897 — a severe platoon disadvantage against Povich (LHP). Despite a hot overall L7d OPS of 1.538, that production almost certainly came against right-handed pitching. The handedness flip to a lefty starter suppresses Turang's contact rate sharply. At +166 (market implying 37.6%) against a true probability gap driven by a 0.295-point OPS platoon split, this under carries real positive expected value.

Turang is one of the hottest bats on the slate: L7d OPS 1.763, L28d OPS 0.859, season vR OPS 0.901. He faces Wilber Dotel (4.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, averaging just 2 IP per start in last 3 outings), who has been unable to retire hitters at a normal rate. Turang hitting .265/.367/.443 season-wide with 19 HR and 19 SB — not a strikeout-heavy contact profile. Dotel's inability to get deep (0.2 IP last time vs MIL) means Turang sees the bullpen quickly. Over 1.5 total bases at +118 with a scorching bat vs a struggling arm is the play.
