I thought 8 seemed to high with Anderson pitching and Cleveland being such a bad offensive team.
I came upon this when I was reading ESPN
The odds are long against something of this nature lasting much longer. Anderson has a FIP of 3.51 and an xFIP of 4.07 (the former estimates what a pitcher’s ERA should be based on strikeouts, walks and home runs allowed; the latter substitutes in fly balls for home runs with the intent of predicting future ERA).
The stat least likely to hold up is this one: Opponents are 3-for-30 with runners on base against him this season.
This was before his worst start too.
Volquez does not pitch well against Cleveland and walks a ton of guys which can make him blow up against any team. I would figure the under is a big public bet today too.
