This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
Three teams have nine games this week. On the surface, this seems to favor batters, but if a hitter only plays one game of a doubleheader, he could only play six innings. The teams presenting the conundrum this week are the Marlins, Phillies and Athletics. Philadelphia is especially intriguing as it has three twin bills. Oakland and Miami have no off days with two days of a pair. Note, the Athletics are slated to face nine right-handed starters, though that's subject to change.
The White Sox, Dodgers, Brewers and Pirates have only five games.
