This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
Even with the Braves and Mets scheduled for eight games, it's a light week with only 92 contests on the docket. The Mets play a pair of doubleheaders (with another early next week) while the Braves get the extra game on top of their regular seven-game docket.
Only the Orioles, Astros, Dodgers, Athletics and Rangers have a full schedule while the White Sox, Rockies, Angels, Giants and Mariners have a pair of off days.
Houston is on the road all week, but it shouldn't be a problem. The Astros offense should take off facing the Orioles and Tigers rotations and suspect bullpens.
The week's biggest platoon edge belongs to the Braves as they're slated to face righthanders in all eight of their tilts.
