MLBhitter vs arsenal

-10 pts

Brandon 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 20% of the time against the kind of pitches Landen Roupp throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the sinker: Landen Roupp throws it 34% of the time, and Brandon Lowe strikes out 12% of the time against it across 77 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
