MLBhitter vs arsenal

-8 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 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Nolan McLean throws, compared with 36% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the sinker: Nolan McLean throws it 34% of the time, and Spencer Jones strikes out 22% of the time against it across 23 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
