MLBhitter vs arsenal

+13 pts

Nolan Arenado is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 35% of the time against the kind of pitches Kevin Gausman throws, compared with 21% against everyone else — 13 points worse. The reason is the splitter: Kevin Gausman throws it 39% of the time, and Nolan Arenado strikes out 58% of the time against it across 12 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
