Weekly Hitter Rankings: A Left-Handed Compliment

Weekly Hitter Rankings: A Left-Handed Compliment

This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.

Normally, the team referenced in the title has the full complement of games. However, this week's featured offense only plays six games, but they're all at home in Nationals Park, a hitter-friendly venue. Further, despite losing a couple of bats at the trade deadline, the Washington Nationals continue to boast the top team wOBA with a lefty on the hill and they're earmarked to face three southpaw starters...

The Yankees and Astros project to score the most runs as both high-powered lineups split their seven games home and away. 

Seven teams have seven games, with only the Brewers slated for five tilts. Initially, the Indians were also ticketed for just five contests, but a Tuesday doubleheader adds a sixth for them and a seventh for the Twins.
