LINEUP EDGE

Published Thursday, September 17, 2026

8 of 14 Houston Astros hitters facing Seth Lugo have more signals for them than against, 2 more against, averaging -0.2 a hitter — -0.1 on the power signals and -0.4 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward base hits than damage. Seth Lugo 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.
