MLBhitter vs arsenal
-7 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Saturday, October 3, 2026
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 15% of the time against the kind of pitches Robbie Ray throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the slider: Robbie Ray throws it 23% of the time, and Luis Lara strikes out 7% of the time against it across 27 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
