+17 pts
Denzer Guzman is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 42% of the time against the kind of pitches Cody Bradford throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 17 points worse. The reason is the changeup: Cody Bradford throws it 37% of the time, and Denzer Guzman strikes out 46% of the time against it across 22 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
