-13 pts
Garrett Stubbs is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 7% of the time against the kind of pitches Hunter Brown throws, compared with 20% against everyone else — 13 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Hunter Brown throws it 32% of the time, and Garrett Stubbs strikes out 6% of the time against it across 17 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 62% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
