-12 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 20% of the time against the kind of pitches Anthony Kay throws, compared with 32% against everyone else — 12 points better. The reason is the cutter: Anthony Kay throws it 17% 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.
