    I don't care about stuff like that because either A) it is small sample size or B) if the sample size is larger, it probably goes back too many years.

    I work with overall numbers, I am a "full body of work" kind of guy. Many considered this an off year for Cole, yet he still finished 3rd best in the majors with a 2.93 xFIP and he had a whopping 12.06 Ks/9. And I think Eovaldi overachieved a bit this year, he is just decent and nothing special.

    Right on. Statistics like that are fairly meaningless because of the small sample size and different players who have worn the Red Sox uniform over the years Cole has pitched against them. Just by randomness, chance ,and distribution, a player is likely to have bad, good, and average numbers across different ballparks. Little correlation and I wouldn't place too much of an emphasis on it.

    Not even a consideration

    I think Cards are worst team in the playoffs, they were among the luckiest teams in baseball this year. I don't mean "luckiest" in the opinion sense, I mean in the mathematical sense (expected wins vs. actual wins). I have NONE of their starting pitchers ranked above average and their other underlying metrics are just not that good.

    The good thing here is that nobody will have to watch the Yankees hitters swinging at balls in the dirt, freezing at balls right over the plate like deers caught in headlights, or excuses from Boone about why his team has sucked for most of the year.

    IF White Sox go with Lynn, I get Houston 57% (-133), which would be a Pass if Pinny/5 Dimes lines hold

    Don't know what Tony's problem is,
    It's Lynn's turn tomorrow on full rest, then Giolito.
    His pitching should be all set up.

    They also have the worst manager in Mlb history. he is more than capable of making moves/non-moves that hurt the cardinals tonight

    Classic LaRussa. he once listed Darryl Kile as his Nlds starter, then at the last minute switched to Rick Ankiel.
    He will mess with Dusty until the very last minute

    Question Sir:
    Ive seen you mention if Piinny lines hold in the past. Can you explain that a bit more, for us, that may not fully understand the depth of that please?

    I only meant if Pinny/5 Dimes line remain about the same after Lynn was announced. And he now has, it will indeed be Lynn/Gelato Game 1-2.
