-11 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 25% of the time against the kind of pitches Christian Scott throws, compared with 36% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the cutter: Christian Scott throws it 18% of the time, and Spencer Jones strikes out 9% of the time against it across 11 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
