By the numbers, you should generally trust the typical platoon splits over the player's splits unless and until you have very clear and compelling evidence to the contrary. That said, a pitcher with surprising splits is more likely to continue to have surprising splits than a hitter who is overwhelmingly likely to be experiencing small sample size luck.

14 hours ago14 hr Colson’s back definitely is not healthy. I don’t think that’s a shin thing. He looks ginger even just swinging normally.
