- The San Diego Padres (at Colorado 4, Miami 3), Colorado Rockies (San Diego 4, Seattle 3), Los Angeles Dodgers (at Cincinnati 4, San Francisco 3), and Cleveland Guardians (Chicago White Sox 3, Athletics 3) round out the top five best hitting matchups.
- The Pittsburgh Pirates drew the week's worst hitter matchup slate, hosting Milwaukee for three and Kansas City for three.

Why it matters: For fantasy managers in CBS leagues, this Week 26 preview identifies low-rostered hitters worth streaming during the season's final stretch — Jakob Marsee and Leo Bernal are the names to watch on waivers — while the Tigers offer the week's most hitter-friendly schedule (7 games at two pitcher-friendly venues) and the Pirates face a schedule tough enough to bench even their regulars.
