Francisco Lindor has been notorious for slow starts in his Mets career. At this point in the season in 2024, Lindor had a batting average of just .193. At the same spot in the season in 2023, he had a batting average of just .235. Despite those slow starts, he finished ninth in the MVP race in 2023 and second in the MVP race last season. Lindor has greatly exceeded those previous slow starts this season, entering this game with a batting average of .279, better than his final batting average in his runner-up MVP last season. Lindor has been solid at the plate to start the season, and history indicates that it will only get better as the season goes on.
In tonight’s matchup at Fenway Park, the Mets will be facing Walker Buehler to start. It has been an up-and-down start to Buehler’s first season with Boston. He has an ERA of 4.28 through his first six starts of the season. After a shaky start to the year, Buehler has started to find his form a bit. However, his most recent start showed that he is still not totally reliable on the bump. He gave up three runs in six innings against Cleveland, striking out only three batters in the process. Buehler’s strikeout numbers have been poor all season, indicating that he doesn’t have the same stuff that he used to have.
My favorite Francisco Lindor prop for this game is for him to register over 1.5 total bases. Lindor has four career at-bats against Buehler, and while he has only hit, that hit was a home run. Lindor has really struggled against left-handed pitching this season, but Buehler is a right-hander, so there is no issue there. Lindor has a 118 tOPS+ against right-handed pitching this season, and should be confident knowing that he has hit a home run off of Buehler in the past. Buehler has struggled against left-handed hitters this season, allowing an opponent tOPS+ of 120 against lefties. Lindor should find success against Buehler and pick up an extra-base hit, pushing him over this number.
