Thanks to 12 home runs in July, Schwarber now sits third in MLB in dingers (37) and should have every opportunity to hit his first of August on Sunday Night Baseball tonight. The 32-year-old is primed to put pressure on Tigers pitcher Charlie Morton, who's given up 16 homers this season, including five in his last three outings.

The 41-year-old Morton doesn't match up well with Schwarber either. Four of Morton's top five pitches (four-seamer, sinker, changeup, cutter) are the pitches Schwarber hits best. The three-time All-Star has a monstrous .714 xSLG and 62.9% hard hit rate off four-seamers, a pitch Morton uses 29.2% of the time.

Against Morton's other three pitches, Schwarber has a .660 xSLG or higher, with a better than 66% hard-hit rate off of two of them (sinker, cutter). The Tigers' righty could find himself in major trouble against a guy who smashes the laces off of baseballs so frequently he's been compared to the Incredible Hulk.
