MLBhitter vs arsenal

-11 pts

Andrés Chaparro 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 11% of the time against the kind of pitches Sandy Alcantara throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Sandy Alcantara throws it 27% of the time, and Andrés Chaparro strikes out 5% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
