Against left-handed and right-handed batters

His strikeout rate moves by 12.1 points between the two sides — he misses far more bats against left-handed batters. His xFIP barely moves (1.45), because his walk rate rises on the same side he strikes more out — which is exactly why the estimator alone hides this. A gap this size changes the read of a start.

xFIP rather than SIERA by hand: FanGraphs does not publish SIERA in its splits. The two describe the same thing and correlate at about 0.95.

Which of the two applies tonight?

That depends on how many left- and right-handed bats the Milwaukee Brewers actually write into the lineup — which is known a few hours before first pitch, not before. Members get the confirmed lineup with each hitter's production against this hand, the bullpen behind him, park and wind, on one screen.
