LINEUP EDGE

Published Saturday, October 3, 2026

15 of 17 Tampa Bay Rays hitters facing Gerrit Cole have more signals for them than against, 2 more against, averaging -0.2 a hitter — 0 on the power signals and +0.1 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward base hits than damage. Gerrit Cole and Tropicana Field 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.
