MLBhitter vs arsenal

-13 pts

Connor Norby 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 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Martín Pérez throws, compared with 29% against everyone else — 13 points better. The reason is the sinker: Martín Pérez throws it 35% of the time, and Connor Norby strikes out 4% of the time against it across 55 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
