-9 pts
Coby Mayo 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 23% of the time against the kind of pitches Nick Martinez throws, compared with 32% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the sinker: Nick Martinez throws it 31% of the time, and Coby Mayo strikes out 8% of the time against it across 49 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
