Rays optimal batting order?

By Tangotiger

It would be more useful to see the forecasted wOBA for each hitter against each hand. Then we can discuss the assumed talent that went into the thinking behind the order. As it stands, without that, the reader has to assume his own talent levels, thereby making your own conclusions moot.

I’d love to see this done with more teams. I think a month or two ago, someone did the Cubs and Cards?
