+10 pts
Nick Allen is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 31% of the time against the kind of pitches Andrew Painter throws, compared with 20% against everyone else — 10 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Andrew Painter throws it 33% of the time, and Nick Allen strikes out 29% of the time against it across 51 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 67% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
