The phrase “seeing is believing” is very appropriate for properly properly rating starting pitchers. That’s because the final numbers often don’t reflect the dynamics of the outing. For instance, a simple outfielder misjudgment of a sacrifice fly ball may lead to another earned run for the starting pitcher. There are many instances of umpires, weather conditions and much more that lead to better or worse than expected results.
That’s why watching games is an important practice for serious fantasy baseball players. Though, getting to regularly watch a variety of team’s games closely is unrealistic for many. In that case, there are key metrics that can be analyzed, like expected ERA, that can help discern true from bad or good luck. These are both data points that are consistently taken into account when rating pitchers in these weekly starting pitcher rankings.
