Angels flying from Seattle for one game then fly back to Los Angeles tonight Angels still struggle versus lefties
You blew it for me buddy. I
was going to save the following until all the geniuses got their bashing in.
Last 5 versus lefty the angels are 4-1, with 4 straight
wins.
Angels have faced an average pitcher rating of 56.4, adjusted
for home field advantage.
Lester has a current home rating of 56.1, right in line.
Angels have allowed the 5 starters to go less than 5
innings per start.
Angels have established an OFFENSIVE e.r.a. of 8.14, which
is 22 earned runs per 9
Angels K/BB ratio has been 1.31 to 1
Angels have hit 7 home runs in 24.1 innings, or 2.6 per
nine innings
The wind will make no difference to lefty, beneficial to
righty. (In from right)
Now then; all of that may not give the Angels a 41% chance
of winning (at +146, the line I took), but I sure can’t see where it gives the
Cubs a 63% chance versus the current -170.
The line is not rising because the big money is coming in
on the Cubs; it is because 64% of the public is on the Cubs.
People that handicap with YTD stats or “career average
stats” are going to like the Cubs, but all stats have shelf life. Stats
established two months ago are of very little value, and stats from last year
and beyond are totally worthless. If you don’t think so you must have bet against
Luis Severino every game last year, expecting him to “regress” to his 2017
stats.
