-6 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, October 17, 2026

Nathaniel Lowe 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 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Nick Martinez throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the sinker: Nick Martinez throws it 32% of the time, and Nathaniel Lowe strikes out 14% of the time against it across 65 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
