Meckler is 0-for-6 (.000 AVG, 0.000 OPS) career vs Lambert — and ALL 6 PA came in 2026, meaning this isn't stale matchup data, it's current-year futility. Lambert's 3.11 ERA and improved 2026 command (46 BB in 118.2 IP is reasonable) give him the edge. Meckler's season line is .286 AVG but his L7d OPS is 0.344 and he rates vR at only 0.775. At +142, there is genuine value: the market prices this under at 41.3% implied probability, but 0-for-6 vs today's starter in-season is far more predictive than season average.
