Cole has a career 7-1 record in nine starts against the Cubs, including 2-1 with a 2.13 ERA in four starts this year.

Flip a coin and pick a team. I flipped a coin last night and it landed on Astros. Today it landed on Pirates.

Therefore, you should take the Cubs, right? After all, coin flips are right 50/50 and yesterday's was a winner.

No... each coin flip is mutually exclusive

Arietta is where my money is at. Rather play the Pirates in the DS though.

d2bets · 10-07-15, 02:47 PM

Has anyone noticed Cole's numbers have gotten worse as the season has worn on?

April 1.76
May 2.43
June 2.35
July 2.40
Aug 3.13
Sept 3.29

Pre-ASB 2.30
Post-ASB 2.98

Not poor, by any means, but some regression. Also, Cole's day/night splits:

Day: 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP (13 games)
Night 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP (19 games)

Just the opposite, Arrieta has been better at night:

Day: 2.16 ERA, 0.92 WHIP (13 games)
Night: 1.51 ERA, 0.83 WHIP (20 games)

Arrieta has been better on the road (1.60 vs. 1.97 ERA) ). Cole has been worse at home (2.83 vs. 2.39 ERA)

Comparing Arrieta in road night games vs. Cole in home night games -- today's situation -- the difference is pretty dramatic. And that's full season, not even taking into account the opposite directional arcs for their seasons.

Arietta seems too good to be true, like he's due to get hit sooner or later.

lakerboy · 10-07-15, 02:53 PM

D2 trying to convince himself.

ANOoki · 10-07-15, 02:56 PM

Pirates and Over are pretty much the lock plays. Public burial on Cubs and Under

Actually I went looking for something pointing the other direction, and I just couldn't find it. If someone can help with that I'd appreciate it.

Does not matter. You would take arrieta no matter what.

BiTeMe UsAdOj · 10-07-15, 03:37 PM

d2 has backed up his position w/factual information

He'll be proven correct in his position a number of hours from now

Fade Arrieta at your peril

There ya go ^^^^^ thats what I noticed ...also noticed that the Cubs got him out in 6 innings and scored 3 runs in September ... while Jake shut them out for 8 in September before being pulled for the closer ....

MickeyMan · 10-07-15, 03:46 PM

D2bets would take cumshots from arrieta all over his face and be in heaven.

Hes been rattling off stats about him on here for weeks.

klemopixx · 10-07-15, 04:37 PM

Arrieta will get the jitters, Cubs swing and miss, Pirates go on to get sacrificed to the Cardinals!

JamesBrown · 10-07-15, 04:55 PM

Pirates Pen wins this game!

gregmav1 · 10-07-15, 05:13 PM

Just a little stay with ump behind the plate. Interesting there is NO advantage on total.

Away teams are 8-2 in Nelson last 10. You may want to look closer next time.

I played Chicago SU and U 5 1/2 .. but i'm a turble person with low morals and a major karma deficit. I would not tail

Demonata · 10-07-15, 05:51 PM

Lets go pirates and lets go andrew mccutchen. Use that speed. Lets hit a home run off arrieta too.

Most likely correct. And if they do, it probably means they've given up a bunch of runs and will lose anyway.

Cubs pen is unlikely to be a factor, unless the game goes into extras.

Capybara · 10-07-15, 06:04 PM

I've analyzed everything I could find, and there is just no way on earth I can bet against Arrieta. It's Cubs for me. With a smaller FF Cubs and a small play on the under.

The average for CG for this season in MLB is 3. CHI has 6 total. Arrieta has 4 of those. I don't think it is out of the question for it to happen.

That's because those were not elimination games. He was pulled after 84 and 72 pitches in his last 2 starts to save him. Not tonight. He wasn't getting taken out because he was struggling or tiring. No manager these days is going to allow his starter to go 9 full very often during the regular season. 4 was tied for MLB lead. This game is just a different animal. And so is Arrieta. If he needs to go 130, he'll do it.

Bottom line we will know for sure real soon.

Go Pirates Damnit!

When it comes to that, regular season stats mean shit. Playoffs is a different animal. Pitch counts not the same.

Anyone remember Curt Schilling for the D'Backs in '01. He went 22-6 that season (sound familiar? same as Arrieta's record).

He went on to 3 CG's in the playoffs and the WS MVP.
