It’s been a while, glad to see the disco thread back.
First glance thoughts fade Balty and Bailey

The mid summer malaise is over. Now it's time to get into the the meat of things.
For sure...last 4 months have had me busier than a one-legged man in an asskicking contest, so going to try to get back into getting a central thread every day for all the fine folk of CTG.
Amen, brother...opportunities to make money during this stretch if you pay attention in this sport with focus of a lot of people switching to football...if you pay attention to how rosters change / trades / callups, it can give a lot of clues for some solid value plays from now till end of the year...

Not all those who wander are lost
I will say this. Do I expect Houston to win today? Yes I do but it is far from perfect. Cole is pitching at night on 5 days rest. I expect he will do a good job but 5 is his worse and he is much better in the Day. This thing is up to 270. It is possible if I see something very good with the ump I might bet on Houston but Oakland is a dangerous team a more reasonable spread 180 to 210 I might go for but this just seems too high
One thing to look for until the end of the year is when my Cards face a young no-name pitcher. Pittsburgh's Agrazal being the most recent example. The Cards never seem prepared at all and always get shut down.

Gray 3-0 vs brew, so far this year

More Guards Than Shawshank
I believe I've seen this pattern too. While many teams could struggle against a pitcher they've never seen, STL especially seems to struggle every time they face a pitcher they've never seen.

These trends are the ones that kill me the most. Leake had a 10+ ERA vs the Angels this season and then went 9IP giving up 1 hit against them last week.

I had the halos in that one:beat:
Well yea cause he had one outing in which he gave up 4 er in 0.2 innings. Before that he had 2 er in 7ip and 4 er in 6 ip. The same size is so small in that trend that its meaningless.
Five of those Mondays were against the Pirates and Marlins.
Hes had one career start on five days‘ rest.

Well the first stat then is even stronger since it directly involves head to heads on a Monday.
The 2nd... one start... nothing to see there.
Head to heads? The starting pitchers weren't the same on any of the occasions. A team is obviously super different with a different starting pitcher.

In their last 6 games, the Yankees are hitting .333 (15-for-45) with RISP, with 2 doubles / 3 HR / 26 RBI and 11 BB . Overall this season, the Yankees have hit an an AL-best .297/.378/.509 w/ RISP

Minny's pen really strained last few games. All close ones, too.
Perez better be ready to go the distance.

So much different than in year's past with this team.
It feels like its been an oddly long while since the Yanks won the pennant
Paging Mr Cashman
Unlucky amount of injuries this year tho like with Stanton he coulda helped immensely with that stat

Erod yields reverse platoon splits tho so shouldn‘t that negate the significance of TB struggling against lefties
Bushleague with the very nice and informative tables! Wonder how he does it

good point cavs....i've watched erod his last few starts, most all of them actually and he keeps getting better, he could lose but line is cheap with the better team, pitcher and TB in bad form
