MLBhitter vs arsenal

-19 pts

Spencer Jones 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 Mason Fluharty throws, compared with 36% against everyone else — 19 points better. The reason is the cutter: Mason Fluharty throws it 49% of the time, and Spencer Jones strikes out 0% 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.
