MLBhitter vs arsenal

+12 pts

Luis Lara is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 32% of the time against the kind of pitches Clay Holmes throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the sinker: Clay Holmes throws it 51% of the time, and Luis Lara strikes out 38% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 65% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
