+11 pts
Jahmai Jones is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 43% of the time against the kind of pitches Blade Tidwell throws, compared with 32% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the sweeper: Blade Tidwell throws it 37% of the time, and Jahmai Jones strikes out 63% of the time against it across 8 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
