LINEUP EDGE

Published Wednesday, September 16, 2026

12 of 14 Kansas City Royals hitters facing Cristian Javier have more signals for them than against, averaging +0.2 a hitter — +0.4 on the power signals and +0.1 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward damage than base hits. Cristian Javier and Daikin Park add +2 on top, counted once for the whole lineup rather than once per hitter. Tonight's lineup is not posted yet, so this covers the full roster rather than the starting nine. This counts how many independent signals agree — it is not a probability and has not been graded against results.
