MLBhitter vs arsenal

-15 pts

Eli White 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 Chris Bassitt throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 15 points better. The reason is the sinker: Chris Bassitt throws it 38% of the time, and Eli White strikes out 7% of the time against it across 29 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 57% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
