-11 pts
Agustín Ramírez 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 14% of the time against the kind of pitches Randy Dobnak throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Randy Dobnak throws it 40% of the time, and Agustín Ramírez strikes out 13% of the time against it across 56 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
