MLBhitter vs arsenal
+7 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Sunday, October 4, 2026
Luis Lara is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Michael King throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 7 points worse. The reason is the sweeper: Michael King throws it 19% of the time, and Luis Lara strikes out 64% of the time against it across 14 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
