-8 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Monday, October 5, 2026

Luisangel Acuña 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 12% of the time against the kind of pitches Gavin Williams throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the sinker: Gavin Williams throws it 16% of the time, and Luisangel Acuña strikes out 4% of the time against it across 49 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
