There's a good amount of history for each pitcher, pitching against the players on the opposing team. According to the stats below, I'd say that John Lackey has the pitching edge. The collective OPS of all St. Louis players against Lackey is one of the lowest I've seen with this many at bats (AB).
I know that the Cubs bats have struggled as of late, but I see them ending a L6 streak at home today. Anyone else look at these outputs and tell me what you see.
