MLBhitter vs arsenal

-9 pts

Luis Lara 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 13% of the time against the kind of pitches Chase Burns throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the slider: Chase Burns throws it 39% of the time, and Luis Lara strikes out 8% 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.
