WoH and Righty vs Righty Skill

In WoH, if you had to choose to use a Right handed hitter with the Right handed pitcher skill, would you use him ideally against a Right handed pitcher to utilize the skill or use him against a Left handed pitcher for the proper matchup?

    It depends on your options. It's difficult to quantify the platoon advantage, but if the difference is reasonable, I'd prefer to go righty vs lefty and vice versa.
    If you're not having fun, you're losing.

    Lefty vs Lefty is tough.  I'd be terrified to do that too.  
    I managed to get Comeback Pence.  He's my best hitter now.  Curious how I should use him.

    It really depends on the rest of your roster. Below you can see mine. I use Simmons and Sanchez against lefties because I have the other side of the plate covered (screenshot is a little outdated as it doesn’t include Simmons (RHP and Late innings).

    Yeah definitely depends on roster of course.  For top righties: I have specialty Odubel Herrera and Dahl.  
    For top lefties: Specialty Buxton (Walkoff trait) and Nelson Cruz (Walkoff trait)
    All G10.

    For this month at least while their skills aren’t ideal for it I have PotMs Devers and Chavis taking the top R and L respectively, with Hernandez as the 5.7 or 5.8 guy at plat 10.  I lack depth for the middle rounds as Santana and Dahl are only 325 overall sitting at plat 8.

    I use Chavis on 4.10 against Lester. I think there is more to L/R matchup than skills though he does have RISP activated at times. I also have Devers and Beast Bellinger w/lhp skill that just do not get it done in spots like this, even in lesser rounds while auto-playing against lefties sometimes. Didn't even bother moving Devers to gold when I tiered up Tuesday.

    Classic yes. I haven’t even tried DTI yet.

    I personally don't mind the same-hand skill.  It can be handy if you forget which hand the next pitcher is.  Disregarding skills LHB are better against RHP, and vice versa, but if you are righty-heavy at the top, like I am, it can definitely help.  For a while there I had to "Speedy" Sanchez at the 10s, regardless of the pitcher.  Same for POTM Chavis until I got Prime Segura and Prime Ohtanisan leveled up.

    I look at it as it turns it into a switch hitter. The downside is you really don't get a huge boost. I mainly offsets the same-handedness.

    This is purely anecdotal, but it seems there is more value overall in lefty hitters on righty pitchers than the value provided by bonuses in WOH. I have Simmons, a righty with a bonus against RHP. After 700 at-bats, he's hitting.382 vs RHP and.406 vs LHP. I haven't counted but it seems he's better in WOH vs lefties.

    Not sure about comparing games to WOH performance. My POTM Anderson was a total dog in games (.333 at S10) but was a HR-hitting beast in WOH...almost like he had a gold wooden bat instead of the silver whiffle ball bat.
