+6 pts
Jackson Holliday is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 29% of the time against the kind of pitches Joey Cantillo throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 6 points worse. The reason is the curveball: Joey Cantillo throws it 30% of the time, and Jackson Holliday strikes out 40% of the time against it across 25 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
