MLB Top Matchups and Player Stats Workflow

This workflow automates the process of fetching and analyzing Major League Baseball (MLB) game data for the current day, focusing on pitching and batting matchups. It pulls daily game schedules, extracts player IDs for pitchers and batters involved in the games, and retrieves their detailed season stats in bulk. The workflow constructs matchup rows comparing pitcher and batter performance, filters for high-ERA pitchers and top OPS batters, and sorts these matchups by game start time in Eastern Time. Finally, it updates a Google Sheet with the top matchups, and sends a Telegram message highlighting the best 21 batters based on OPS. This automation is useful for sports analysts, fantasy baseball players, or baseball enthusiasts who want real-time, data-driven insights into player matchups for strategic decisions.
