MLBhitter vs arsenal

-8 pts

Hunter Goodman 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 25% of the time against the kind of pitches Max Fried throws, compared with 33% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the cutter: Max Fried throws it 22% of the time, and Hunter Goodman strikes out 3% of the time against it across 30 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
