-6 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Wednesday, October 7, 2026

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 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 23% of the time against the kind of pitches Nick Martinez throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the sinker: Nick Martinez throws it 32% of the time, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. strikes out 18% of the time against it across 63 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
