Wednesday brings another full day of baseball, including a few afternoon games that can stand alone as an early slate. In addition, Tuesday’s breakdown included targeting left-handed hitters against Julio Teheran. With Teheran being pushed back to start on Wednesday, the same logic applies. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to compare one pitcher’s […]

The entire league takes the field on Tuesday, with only two teams playing in the afternoon. This makes for a loaded night slate – although the Indians and Mariners start an hour earlier than usual, possibly requiring the use of an ‘all-day’ lineup to get some of their players in. Currently, we are using xFIP

With most of the festivities of the past few weeks behind us, Monday includes the typical off-day for many teams. After the extremely early day game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays – which, by the time this post is live, might have already started – the rest of the teams play at night. Currently,

From Bumgarner and Kershaw – again – to Zack Greinke and James Shields, balance is found everywhere. In addition, where the scale appears to be tilted,

Thursday’s games start a bit earlier than usual, and there are more than enough games to warrant both early and late slate competitions. As it turns out, many of the better pitchers will appear in the first half of the day, while hitters get the edge, at night. With that, there are certainly opportunities to

Wednesday brings a full slate of games, including the return of early contests. The increased number of games naturally comes with more options, but Wednesday’s pitchers actually bring an inherent level of risk. Despite the quantity of arms that could be used, the quality of their matchups are somewhat lacking. As a result, we will
