The late game tonight is very interesting .. line shows it as a tossup, and I can see why. Both Randy Wolf and Joe Saunders have identical overall ERA's TY at 3.69, and both MILW & AZ
have identical .500 records vs LH-starters TY at
(18-18) & (24-24) respectively. But, each team has some advantages over the other. MILW is
(39-43) ROAD TY compared to AZ (52-30) HOME TY .. vs LH-starters, MILW is (7-10) ROAD TY &
AZ is (14-11) HOME TY .. so, advantage AZ in those stats. WOLF has a 4.64 ERA vs AZ & SAUNDERS has a 5.68 ERA vs MILW, although
Saunders has a slighty lower WHIP & BAA ...
WOLF has 3.81 ROAD ERA TY compared to
SAUNDERS 4.42 HOME ERA TY .. so, advantage
MILW w/ those stats .. pitchers LG vs tonights'
opposition is also pretty equal at 2.45 to 2.57 ...
I think DRECKMAN will be calling balls and strikes,
and recently has favored the OVER at 17-12 TY
and the hometeam .. so, you can see why this is
such a tough game to cap and why it has been
lined a tossup .. personally, I am leaning toward
the hometeam, tonight .. the SNAKES really relished being back home in the desert, and their
bats came alive last night .. this could carry-over
to tonight .. hope this might have helped someone. : )
