-7 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, October 3, 2026

Ryan McMahon 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 22% of the time against the kind of pitches Drew Rasmussen throws, compared with 29% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the cutter: Drew Rasmussen throws it 29% of the time, and Ryan McMahon strikes out 16% of the time against it across 31 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
