MLBhitter vs arsenal

-10 pts

Tim Tawa 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 12% of the time against the kind of pitches Landen Roupp throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the sinker: Landen Roupp throws it 34% of the time, and Tim Tawa strikes out 7% of the time against it across 59 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 69% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
