MLBhitter vs arsenal

+11 pts

Denzer Guzman is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 36% of the time against the kind of pitches Parker Messick throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the changeup: Parker Messick throws it 23% of the time, and Denzer Guzman strikes out 48% of the time against it across 23 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 79% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
