MLBhitter vs arsenal

-12 pts

Colton Cowser 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 18% of the time against the kind of pitches Payton Tolle throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 12 points better. The reason is the cutter: Payton Tolle throws it 20% of the time, and Colton Cowser strikes out 0% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
