MLBhitter vs arsenal

-8 pts

Angel Genao 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 3% of the time against the kind of pitches Michael Wacha throws, compared with 11% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Michael Wacha throws it 27% of the time, and Angel Genao strikes out 0% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 66% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
