-6 pts
Carlos Narváez 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 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Jake Bennett throws, compared with 33% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the sinker: Jake Bennett throws it 25% of the time, and Carlos Narváez strikes out 12% of the time against it across 50 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
