It’s another busy Friday on this 11th day of June as Major League Baseball gets ready for a weekend with many divisional series on tap. Many of tonight’s opponents know each other well  as the AL East, AL West, and NL West all have a pair of divisional matchups tonight.  With those matchups in place, there are some hitters who have extended track records of success against their likely opponent today.  Some of those players are highlighted in our top 10 batter vs pitcher matchups on the following slides.

Here are the top ten batter vs pitcher matchups to attack on this Friday, June 12.

10. Alex Gordon-OF-Kansas City Royals: The I-95 Series rematch is the interleague matchup for this weekend as the Royals visit St. Louis to face the Jaime Garcia and the Cardinals tonight. Alex Gordon has hit Garcia well in his career going 4-9 (.444) with a double, a home run, and five RBI.

9. Xander Bogaerts-SS-Boston Red Sox: The Red Sox season is quickly getting away from them, but one bright spot over the last few months has been the emergence of Xander Bogaerts.  As Boston returns home tonight, he’ll face Drew Hutchinson as he continue to grow as a fantasy option. In his career, Bogaerts is 6-12 (.500) with a double and an RBI against the Blue Jays righty.

8. J.J. Hardy-SS-Baltimore Orioles: In another AL East contest, the O’s host the Yankees at Camden Yards as they take on Michael Pineda.  Look for J.J. Hardy to have a good game since he is 6-11 (.545) with three home runs against Pineda in their previous meetings.
