MLBhitter vs arsenal

+10 pts

Gabriel Arias is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 51% of the time against the kind of pitches Eduardo Rodriguez throws, compared with 42% against everyone else — 10 points worse. The reason is the changeup: Eduardo Rodriguez throws it 26% of the time, and Gabriel Arias strikes out 62% of the time against it across 13 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
