About a week ago, they had a fascinating article on MLB series. The key statistic is BAA - batting average against. Since 1995, the team with the better BAA has won a each series 65.2% of the time. Pitching wins - just ask the Yankees

Don't have the article, but:
DET .257 2nd best
OAK .272 8th best
NYM .253 2nd best
STL .268 9th best
The WSJ does not move lines, apparently. Det was 100 earlier today and is now +108.
