- Posted lineup is confirmed: Arizona's first six are Nootbaar, Marte, Moreno, Perdomo, Smith and Arenado; Arizona's vs-R team proxy is .3125 xwOBA with a 20% K rate.
- Arizona's middle-order split profile remains stronger through hitters 4-6, keeping this an F3-specific read rather than a top-three-only RFI transfer.
- The full-game total is NOT a valid reference for this first-three-inning question: it answers a different inning distribution involving later fatigue and bullpen innings.
- Colorado's middle order can still win the early segment; individual split coverage is incomplete, so team proxies carry uncertainty.
