+11 pts
Jarren Duran is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 38% of the time against the kind of pitches Shane Baz throws, compared with 28% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the knuckle curve: Shane Baz throws it 33% of the time, and Jarren Duran strikes out 57% of the time against it across 14 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
