Matchup: points this starter, his pitch mix, the bullpen and the park add or take away, against the same hitter over the same trips facing league-average opposition. "Without the matchup" takes them back out.

Right is always better for the hitter: K% and whiff are ranked low-to-high. Context only; a percentile isn't a projection.
