Nolan Schanuel

Schanuel is 0-for-3 with a 0.000 OPS in 3 career PA vs Cameron (small sample, noted). Critically, his vL OPS split is just 0.620 — among the weakest on the Angels against left-handed pitching — and Cameron is LHP. LAA is 12-24 as a team vs LHP this season. The market is offering +166 on a hitter with confirmed struggles against this handedness and zero contact in limited career matchup exposure.

Schanuel is 0-for-3 lifetime vs Bradford (3 PA, .000 AVG, .000 OPS in 2024) — a small sample, but the direction is reinforced by a structural platoon disadvantage: Schanuel posts only .595 OPS vs LHP (vs .780 OPS vs RHP), and Bradford is a lefty. A left-on-left matchup against a pitcher who generated 5 Ks in his last start (even in just 4.1 IP) with a history of generating weak contact supports the Under at +156, which offers +EV even with the small BvP sample.

Schanuel is 1-for-12 career vs Miller (.091 AVG, 0.258 OPS, 0 HR in 12 PA). Both 2024 (6 PA, 0.167 OPS) and 2025 (6 PA, 0.334 OPS) show weak production — the 2025 OPS uptick is marginal and a small sample of 6 PA. Miller's strikeout-heavy profile neutralizes Schanuel's contact-first approach. +132 is strong value on a batter with one career hit in 12 attempts against this starter, who arrives in his best form since 2024.
