Good morning,

Why Miami is a xFIP Play:

You will notice Miami is significantly better in all the categories, yet they are a +125 dog. I feel there is value here. We shall see.

Miami

xERA STD: 3.64 Last 2: 2.58 Last 2: 2.58 Last 5: 3.54 Last 28: 3.66
FIP STD: 4.59 Last 2: 4.11 Last 2: 4.11 Last 5: 4.32 Last 28: 3.95
xFIP STD: 4.74 Last 2: 3.62 Last 2: 3.62 Last 5: 4.72 Last 28: 4.50

Washington

xERA STD: 5.41 Last 1: 5.14 Last 1: 5.14 Last 1: 5.14 Last 11: 3.9
FIP STD: 6.47 Last 1: 8.80 Last 1: 8.80 Last 1: 8.80 Last 11: 4.99
xFIP STD: 6.18 Last 1: 6.13 Last 1: 6.13 Last 1: 6.13 Last 11: 4.78

My concern here would be Worley facing nats for second start in a row after shutting them down for 7 innings last time out. He flat out dominated them, only allowing 2 hits and only taking 92 pitches to cruise thru 7. While I hate to knock a guy for such a great performance I find myself having to ask can this gas can really blank the nats again? A guy who has allowed hard contact a crazy 42% of the time this season!

On plus side nats throwing out a gas can of their own who sporting a 5.66 minor league era, has already walked 8 guys in 2 big league starts, and unlike Worley got spanked last outing against same team..so fish could certainly just out slug nats in this one, everything to me says over even tho it a pretty high number.

Thanks for the input. All valid points Bank. I hope Woley can have another quality outing, though it's always tougher the second time around. As far as the over, the bullpen is rested but the umpire is an over umpire, so I have no opinion on the total.

Good luck DD

That was mostly just my initial reaction. While I do expect runs there don't think I can pull the trigger on a double digit total w way these offenses performing of late.

Please excuse my ignorance, can you explain what "VMI" represents?

Please excuse my ignorance, can you explain what "VMI" represents?

It an acronym for Visual Memory Index. If you Google it, you can get the full explanation, but the short version is:

The VMI is an index that gauges the degree of today's adjustment for hitters

Why the White Sox today:

Houston
Brad Peacock (R) Age: 29 Typical pitch count: 88.4

xERA STD: 3.04 Last 2: 3.75 Last 5: 3.50 Last 11: 3.21 Last 27: 3.48
FIP STD: 3.02 Last 2: 6.64 Last 5: 3.73 Last 11: 3.18 Last 27: 4.00
xFIP STD: 3.74 Last 2: 4.56 Last 5: 4.42 Last 11: 3.96 Last 27: 4.24


White Sox
Carlos Rodon (L) Age: 24 Typical pitch count: 100.3

xERA STD: 3.17 Last 3: 1.98 Last 6: 2.81 Last 7: 3.17 Last 57: 3.33
FIP STD: 4.80 Last 3: 2.76 Last 6: 4.62 Last 7: 4.80
xFIP STD: 3.88 Last 3: 2.15 Last 6: 3.49 Last 7: 3.88 Last 57: 4.04

You will notice just how close the numbers are in this game with Rodon besting Peacock in a number of categories. I know Houston, on average, score more runs the first five innings (2.53 vs 3.25) but I feel @+155 we still have some very good value here.

Yes we have. It's about time the pendulum swings the other way.

[doubledime]

Good morning,

Well this was inevitable...... the xFIP system has one side (Col) and VMI has the other (Mia) so it will be a no play.

Reliever Play:

Min/Det over 4.5 second half

xFIP first 5 inning side play:

Mil -.5

Second half plays (still just tracking):

Mets/Phil over 3.5
SD/LAD over 3

Good luck

[thekoreanmang]

You don't like the possibility of hitting the F5 COL ML but MIA winning it full game ML?
