+13 pts
Juan Brito is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 43% of the time against the kind of pitches Casey Mize throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 13 points worse. The reason is the slider: Casey Mize throws it 27% of the time, and Juan Brito strikes out 75% of the time against it across 8 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 72% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
