LOL, why is that weird? Seems logical to make your decision based off how good the starting pitchers are.
Well in some cases I look at that statement and do agree.
There are some pitchers I followed such as Clemens, Randy Johnson, P Martinez etc that i would definitely bet on. They were excellent pitchers.
Not a huge MLB fan anymore, only have time for NFL/Select NCAA but in most cases Pitchers stats, W-l, ERA are important.
I just think if you have a solid pitcher thats 13-3 with the worst offense, awful infield/outfield or something holding them back from being great I would take the other team.
Hope this makes sense. Obviously if a pitcher was 1-7 I wouldnt bet a karma point on them. LOL
