-9 pts

Brett Baty 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 19% of the time against the kind of pitches Sandy Alcantara throws, compared with 28% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the changeup: Sandy Alcantara throws it 21% of the time, and Brett Baty strikes out 13% of the time against it across 54 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
