Umpires
Starting pitcher recent form Starting pitcher home/road splits Bullpens/Bullpen recent usage Offenses recent form/Offenses vs the starting pitcher/Offenses vs righties or lefties Day game/Night game - Does the ball travel more during the day or night at a particular stadium Don't assume good offenses hit more overs, Don't assume bad offenses hit more unders Weather - wind, temp, humidity, precipitation Does the stadium have a retractable roof? Is the roof open or closed? Are you better off taking a team total or 1st 5 inning total over a game total? That should give you a starting point |

Coke's a below average guy, no? Opponents are hitting .320 off of him. I don't know how you can have faith in him. Dotel is an old average arm. If he wasn't he wouldn't be on his 13th different team and 6th in 3 years. He certainly wasn't more than average when I had to watch him pitch for my team for 2 years. It certainly didn't upset me when he left town. I'l give you Benoit, I like him. Like I already said about Valverde, I'm taking 20 other closers before I take him. Maybe that's just me though. Every time I see this guy pitch I have to watch him try to wiggle himself out of a jam. Give me a closer that just goes out there and gets guys out. |

Strikeouts mean nothing. He was a mediocre pitcher coming into the year and he's been worse than that this year. Agree on Smyly. Not sure how much success he'll have the rest of the year but he deserves to be in the bigs right now. Just naming who's in their bullpen doesn't make them good. Their bullpen collectively ranks in the bottom of 3rd of baseball and only Cleveland and Toronto have a worse bullpen era than Detroit in the AL. I don't agree with Valverde. There's 20 closers I would take before him. |

Last I checked they hit lefties at a better clip than they do righties

I think it can go both ways. I don't have data support it though.
If rain is expected to come later then the umps may try to move the game along calling a few more stikes, bang-bang plays outs, etc. This would result in less runs scored more than likely. If rain interrupts the game early and knocks the starting pitchers out of the game or throws them off their rhythm then things could get ugly resulting in more runs scored. |

Weeble and Mmac. Each have a different style but each style works for them.

If we're going by this year Lincecum and Marquis off the top of my head. I can give Guthrie a pass because of the park he pitches in. He's not as bad as hit numbers indicate.
