The flip-side is Christian Yelich has been an absolute Cardinal-killer over his career.

 

Over 271 career plate appearances (225 at bats) against the Cardinals Yelich has the following line:

 

.302 BA / .417 OBP / .618 SLG / 1.035 OPS

Here’s a fun trivia question (no cheating):

 

Over his career Ryan Braun had an OPS above 1.000 against two teams that he had more than 100 career at bats against. Can you name them?

 

Hint -- His number of career plate appearances against the two teams was 337 and 412.

No, Braun had 803 and 797 plate appearances respectively, against those teams. He was very good against the Cubs (.945 OPS), but the Cardinals were his toughest opponent over the course of his career (.781 OPS) among those he had greater than 50 plate appearances against.

Haha, I have faith. One is much harder than the other, IMO. One of the teams much was made about all of the home runs he hit in their home ballpark.

Gotta let Hiura keep playing most days but he should lose his lineup slot soon unless he starts hitting
I tried to log in on my iPad. Turns out it was an etch-a-sketch and I don't own an iPad. Also, I'm out of vodka.

Seems like he did well against the Padres. A second one doesn't jump out, even if the Pads was right in the first place..

Padres are 5th on the list (in terms of OPS) of teams he faced in greater than 100 ABs.

 

In 277 plate appearances against the Padres, Braun had a line of .293 BA / .368 OBP / .550 SLG / .918 OPS

I feel like it has to be a west coast team so I'll take two flyers.

 

Giants and Astros

 

Astros were prolly in the NL for enough of his career to get the ABs.

I have no clue on the trivia but I really want to know! And I won't look it up. How about Phillies and Marlins. I'm guessing it can't be someone in our division.

 

We have two (partial) winners!

 

Phillies and Astros are correct.

 

Braun’s line against Phillies in 332 plate appearances:

 

.385 BA / .429 OBP / .706 SLG / 1.134 OPS

 

 

Braun’s line against Astros in 412 plate appearances:

 

.333 BA / .398 OBP / .631 SLG / 1.029 OPS

I'm going to guess Rockies and Twins but I bet I'm wrong on both.

The Rockies were a really good guess. He had a .945 OPS against them in 332 career plate appearances.
