MLBhitter vs arsenal

-10 pts

Denzel Clarke 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 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Cody Bradford throws, compared with 39% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the changeup: Cody Bradford throws it 36% of the time, and Denzel Clarke strikes out 25% of the time against it across 8 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
