-5 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Monday, October 5, 2026

Braden Montgomery 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 14% of the time against the kind of pitches Gavin Williams throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 5 points better. The reason is the sweeper: Gavin Williams throws it 29% of the time, and Braden Montgomery strikes out 6% of the time against it across 18 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
