Just a trend I've noticed all year is that the Pirates and Nationals are constantly huge favorites when the Pirates are at home and Scherzer pitches. This is despite the fact that Scherzer is 9-7 and while the Pirates have been streaking every game they play is a sweat cuz they cant score to save their lives. Thankfully for them last series SD can score either but they lost to STL today 4-1 and were shut down by Carlos Martinez...a very good but not amazing pitcher. Look at the Nationals last game with Scherzer on the mound and while he got roughed up a bit by CIN they managed 0 runs vs Cueto at home. I know Cueto had something to play for but come on WAS...both these teams are so overrated cuz of the lack of run support they give their pitchers and it will be their undoing in the playoffs.
At least the public perception of the Blue Jays constantly being favorites can be somewhat justified cuz their offense can go off any given day. PIT or WAS offense going off is like 6 runs a gm haha.
venting over...I'd love to see how many games PITT/WAS combined have lost when they are -120 to -150 favorites. Games where they aren't playing shit teams but their offenses still get more credit than it should.
Just something to think about...
