MLBhitter vs arsenal

-14 pts

Héctor Rodríguez 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 8% of the time against the kind of pitches David Peterson throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 14 points better. The reason is the sinker: David Peterson throws it 30% of the time, and Héctor Rodríguez strikes out 0% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 67% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
