MLBhitter vs arsenal

+6 pts

Luis Lara is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 25% of the time against the kind of pitches Kevin Gausman throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 6 points worse. The reason is the splitter: Kevin Gausman throws it 38% of the time, and Luis Lara strikes out 44% of the time against it across 9 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
