MLBhitter vs arsenal

-7 pts

Taylor Walls 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 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Robert Stock throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the cutter: Robert Stock throws it 32% of the time, and Taylor Walls strikes out 11% of the time against it across 35 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
