MLBhitter vs arsenal

-11 pts

Taylor Trammell 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 21% of the time against the kind of pitches Zac Thornton throws, compared with 32% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the cutter: Zac Thornton throws it 30% of the time, and Taylor Trammell strikes out 0% of the time against it across 9 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
