+12 pts
Alika Williams is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 35% of the time against the kind of pitches Braydon Fisher throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the slider: Braydon Fisher throws it 49% of the time, and Alika Williams strikes out 44% of the time against it across 25 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 68% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
