As do I, and most serious baseball bettors. The Ginats pen hadn't been bad, and the DBacks offense has just been awful. They're lucky to get 3 runs in a game, now they get that in the 9th, with a guy hitting below .200 getting a game tying HR???
Ya, I forgot the Brewers on my list. Did it off the top of my head, BUT....the Yankees are making thier way up, FAST!@ 
Looking at the 2007 season, the top ten teams in bullpen ERA were San Diego, Boston, Toronto, Atlanta, Texas, Cleveland, Chicago Cubs, Washington, Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado. It’s no surprise that six of those teams were in the top 11 in profits with San Diego falling in at 12th, the first team to not show a profit on the season. Those six teams were a combined +$6,317 in profits. Coincidence? Not a chance.
Extending out further, the top 10 teams in bullpen ERA finished a combined +$3,927, a very solid ending number. Looking at the bottom six teams in bullpen ERA, none finished the season with a winning record while none of those teams finished in the profits either. The six teams were 20th or worst on the money list and they lost a combined -$9,323. That is a huge amount of losses.
Going back further there is not much of a difference. In 2006 the top 10 teams in bullpen ERA were Minnesota, Oakland, New York Mets, Detroit, Kansas City, San Diego, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Florida and Toronto. Six of those teams finished in the top 10 in baseball profits with Toronto coming in at 11th. Those six teams were +$8,946 and four of the top five in ERA were the top four in the money list (Minnesota, Oakland, New York Mets and Detroit).
The bottom five teams in bullpen ERA were Kansas City, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Tampa Bay and San Francisco. Only the Royals showed a profit on the season while the other four teams showed a combined deficit of -$5,704. The Kansas City profit was obviously an aberration and it was due to enormous line as the royals still finished with the second worst record in baseball at 62-100.

Good Info, thank you. 
Any numbers from last year?
Covers is pretty good. Go into "matchups", then in the bullpen section, hit "in depth". Shows you how much each pitcher has been used and amount of rest they are on, and goes off of last 3 games, which is more valuable to me, than say year long stats, because pens are just like hitting, the yhave ups and downs throughout the year.
Established in 1995,
on the under in the SF game, I'm seriously thinking of playing 5 inning plays from here on out.
