MLBhitter vs arsenal

-10 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 12% of the time against the kind of pitches Framber Valdez throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the sinker: Framber Valdez throws it 45% 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. Based on 64% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
