What should the Brewers expect from a Gyorko / Sogard platoon?

Between Travis Shaw getting released and Mike Moustakas getting a four-year deal from the Cincinnati Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers will need to have a much different look at third base in 2020. The majority of the at-bats and innings at third base will go to Eric Sogard and Jedd Gyorko, but how will the Brewers handle the platoon?

Who starts against right-handers?

In 2019, Sogard saw the majority of his at-bats come against right-handed pitchers, and he managed a .795 OPS against. In 322 plate appearances against righties, Sogard hit seven of his 13 homers, stole six of his eight bases, and created 28 of his 40 RBIs.
