MLBhitter vs arsenal

-10 pts

Corey Seager 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 15% of the time against the kind of pitches Ryan Johnson throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the cutter: Ryan Johnson throws it 34% of the time, and Corey Seager strikes out 10% of the time against it across 20 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
