LINEUP EDGE
Published Tuesday, September 15, 2026
8 of 9 Houston Astros hitters facing Michael Wacha have more signals for them than against, averaging +1.1 a hitter — +1.3 on the power signals and +0.3 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward damage than base hits. Michael Wacha and Daikin Park add +1 on top, counted once for the whole lineup rather than once per hitter. Batting order is tonight's posted lineup. This counts how many independent signals agree — it is not a probability and has not been graded against results.
