NL Platoon Situations

Here is a swift list of platoon ideas for the National League teams. Information, homework, and research can take you far in fantasy baseball drafts. You need to know every team’s possible platooning strategy. If you don’t know you lose valuable ABs thus lose counting stats in fantasy. Gotta know your lefty/righty match-ups.



Platoons likely to occur:

NL EAST

NEW YORK METS

RF: Lucas Duda vs. RHP, Scott Hairston vs. LHP

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

LF/1B: Pierre & Mayberry vs. RHP, Mayberry & Wigginton vs. FHP

NL CENTRAL

CHICAGO CUBS

RF: David Dejesus vs. RHP, Reed Johnson vs. LHP

PITTSBURGH PIRATES

1B: Garrett Jones vs. RHP, Casey McGehee vs. LHP

HOUSTON ASTROS

CF: Jordan Schafer vs. RHP, Jason Bourgeois vs. LHP

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

CF/RF: Jay & Beltran vs. RHP, Beltran & Craig vs. LHP

CINCINNATI REDS

LF: Chris Heisey vs. RHP, Ryan Ludwick vs. LHP



NL WEST

SAN DIEGO PADRES

1B: Yonder Alonzo vs. RHP, Jesus Guzman vs. LHP

COLORADO ROCKIES

Scutaro, Helton, Hernandez and Blake will all be 36 or older by late May and Cuddyer will be 33 when the season starts, so the bench players should see plenty of action.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS

LF: Sands and Rivera will both get ABs against RHP and LHP

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

OF/1B: Brandon Belt will take ABs away from all OF and eventually take over at 1B for Huff
