    Does Anyone Bet This Clown CWS - Samardzija (R)

    He is pitching today the afternoon game home vs Cleve

    Do we poke him?? He seems like an underachiever with good stuff

    pitched great his last time out

    Last year he was lights out in the first few months

    this year he struggled a bit in his first two starts.

    I think I might take the under but the number of pitches so far in shark's first 3 starts will be something I will keep my eye on going forward

    HE is not an underachiever, the teams he has pitched for have not given him any support. Just look at his stats, he should be a bigger winner than he is.

    Isn't that exactly why he says he's underachieved? Based in his stats, he should have achieved more.

    Not his fault

    but I think you might be a good representative voice for some square sports fans that bet

    There might be good value for this guy now

    the run support should regress to the mean

    When I think of "underachieved", I think of highly touted guys that never live up to their billing. In the case of Shark, I would consider his teams being the ones underachieving as he has actually pitched very well.

    Lt gets it! How many fukking 2-1 or 3-2 type games has this guy lost? Never gets ANY run support even after getting to Oak they traded Cespedes and fall off the map offensively and so far Sox have done him no favors.

    Since 2013 the teams of Samardzija have lost 44 of his 69 starts. 16 of the losses came with 1 run difference (.363).
    Giants have lost 31 of Bumgarner's starts since 2013. 13 of the losses came with 1 run difference (.419).
    Cards have lost 26 of Waino's starts since 2013. 10 of the losses came with 1 run difference (.385).
    At least Samardzija is not alone. And these were the only other guys I looked into.

    Kluber is the better pitcher but Samardzija can be just as good any given day. Early on in his career with the Cubs he had control issues and walks would always come back to haunt him but seems like he has gotten better because he doesn't walk very many batters now

    Samardzija definitely looks like a decent bet at plus money. But he will need some support from the offense here, because Kluber on the other side flashed some good stuff to start the season as well.

    It might come down to whose bullpen can take care of the job. Yesterday that top prospect Rondon didn't do a very good job. How does the rest of Chicago's bullpen looks like?

    With two strong starters, under has to be in consideration. But with solid wind blowing into the centre field, mistakes will get punished with extra base hits.

    Early leans: White sox ML and under 4 (1st half)

    whenever i was capping this gm (really late last night). i think i recall a really strong wind blowing out so i didnt think much of the number. especially considering neither pen really lights out (especially tribes shakey ass dudes!)..

    He's a solid pitcher, but Kluber is an absolulte beast. Kluber is a top 10 pitcher in the MLB, and top 3 for consistency. 90% of the time he will not give up more than 3 runs when he pitches. Extremely extremely solid. I'm on Indians today. Go Tribe.

    The total is high due to strong winds (19 mph) blowing out to left field.

    Yep...otherwise might be 6.5

    I took small play on Under 7.5

    Torn on the side.
    It's cold so balls likely not to be crisply hit to have many homers today.

    Wonder what would have happened if he went to the NFL instead.
    Anyone think he would have had a good career?
