-8 pts
Oswald Peraza 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 22% of the time against the kind of pitches Elmer Rodríguez throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the sinker: Elmer Rodríguez throws it 45% of the time, and Oswald Peraza strikes out 7% of the time against it across 57 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
