+9 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 Janson Junk throws, compared with 41% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Janson Junk throws it 36% of the time, and Gabriel Arias strikes out 52% of the time against it across 46 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
