MLBhitter vs arsenal

-8 pts

Bo Naylor 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 14% of the time against the kind of pitches Keider Montero throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the sinker: Keider Montero throws it 22% of the time, and Bo Naylor strikes out 8% of the time against it across 12 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
