Palacios is 0-for-3 in 2026 career PAs vs Melton with a 0.000 OPS. His season average sits at .230 and his L7d OPS is a dire .158. Melton's 1.70 ERA and 7.6 K/9 in 2026 — supported by going at least 5+ innings in two of his last three starts — makes Palacios at the bottom of the TB order a tough out candidate. Under 0.5 hits at +100 carries real value given the matchup.

Career vs Baz: 5 PA (all 2026), .000 AVG, 0.000 OPS — 0-for-5 against him this season. While 5 PA is a small sample, it is the most recent and relevant data available. Palacios is hitting .237 on the year with a .718 OPS vs RHP. Baz's 8.16 K/9 compounds the under case. At +116, market implies only 46% probability of going hitless — BvP trend suggests the true probability is higher.
