It’s the "Tuesday Trot Tracker," and this slate has serious moonshot potential from top to bottom. Several pitchers are bringing ugly splits and fly-ball problems into dangerous matchups, while some of baseball’s biggest power bats are heating up at the perfect time.

We have Mike Trout in a dream matchup against a pitcher getting torched by right-handed power, Brandon Lowe stepping into a lefty-friendly setup against a pitcher who can’t keep the ball in the yard, and Matt Olson bringing elite hard-contact numbers into a matchup he’s already crushed before.
