The Schedule Planner: National League
With just under two months left in the season, playing to the schedule is a big factor in fantasy baseball so I ran some numbers to identify the best and worst offenses by handedness and perhaps this can offer some guidance for you down the stretch when selecting starters. I looked at wOBA for the year, last 30 days, and last 14 days, then weighted the three, and ranked the teams.
The recent samples are smaller and thus more volatile, but they also can reflect the changing dynamics of a team via injuries or trades. That said, I still weighted the season mark the most. This is just focused on handedness so be mindful of potential park factors that could also play a role. It’s sorted by division and record and then the scheduled teams are listed in order starting with Wednesday, August 8th. Today we’ve got the Senior Circuit:

@sporer Great FG piece on NL SP Planner! I tried to take your analysis a bit farther by aggregating and color coding to show which teams have best and worst ROS matchups. Let me know if you want me to do same with your AL planner- just takes a sec to do it! pic.twitter.com/sMPTghw3Qd
