0-for-2 vs Suarez specifically in 2026 (.000 AVG, .000 OPS in 2026 PA). Season BA is .235 with L7d OPS of .554 — one of KC's coldest bats right now. Suarez (LHP) has shown the ability to suppress this matchup. At +136, the market is offering value for what the data supports: a cold hitter with zero hits against today's starter this season.
