MLBhitter vs arsenal

-9 pts

Junior Caminero 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 10% of the time against the kind of pitches Martín Pérez throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the sinker: Martín Pérez throws it 35% of the time, and Junior Caminero strikes out 10% of the time against it across 142 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
