+14 pts
Connor Norby is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 44% of the time against the kind of pitches Andrew Alvarez throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 14 points worse. The reason is the curveball: Andrew Alvarez throws it 31% of the time, and Connor Norby strikes out 71% 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.
