I am new in baseball handicapping (and also in baseball) because I live in Europe, where baseball is not a very famous sport, but I really like it.
I read about ERA's and pitchers again and again here, but I would like to make my picks, so I need websites with team's stats and pitchers' stats.
Which sites are the bests for it?
Where can I check the pitchers previous matches?
I don't like mlb.com, for soccer I use www.soccerway.com, that is perfect for soccer, basketball, nhl etcetc...
do you use a site like this for baseball?
[last question: if a pitcher is 4-0 in his last 6 for example, he won 4 and lost 0, but whats with the 2 other match?]
meanwhile if you want to learn something about baseball terms you may check wikipedia where is so usual....good luck and welcome to mlb
another 2 game won by another pitchers (a game is 9 innings but a starting pitchers stay 5-6-7 innings generally)
if cole hamels and matt cain allow 2 homeruns in first 6 innigs and both left the game end of the 6. inning (score was 2-2)
7th inning score still 2-2
8th inning score still 2-2
9th inning Phillies closer Lidge doesn't allow run but Giants closer Brian Wilson allow one run and Phillies win 3-2
Brian Wilson is Loser, Lidge will be winner. (that is one of the another two games.there is not any loser or winner starting pitcher)
