+5 pts
Randy Arozarena is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 27% of the time against the kind of pitches Jacob deGrom throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 5 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Jacob deGrom throws it 42% of the time, and Randy Arozarena strikes out 31% of the time against it across 160 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
