On Dodgers and Giants' rotations
There still like five (?) weeks until catchers and pitchers report, but the cornerstones of the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants' rotation are already set.
This is what Dodgers starting five will most likely look like:
1. Jason Schmidt, RHP
2. Derek Lowe, RHP
3. Randy Wolf, LHP
4. Brad Penny, RHP
5. Chad Billingsley, RHP of Hong-Chih Kuo, LHP
The Giants will most likely field:
1. Barry Zito, LHP
2. Matt Morris, RHP
3. Matt Cain, RHP
4. Noah Lowry, LHP
5. Brad Hennessey, RHP
Let's see how they match up (in a scale of +3+2+1-0-1-2-3 of each other):
1. Schmidt vs Zito: -1.5 (advantage Zito)
2. Lowe vs Morris: +0.5 (advantage Lowe)
3. Wolf vs Cain: -1.0 (advantage Cain)
4. Penny vs Lowry: +1.5 (advantage Penny)
5. Billinsgley vs Hennessey: +1.5 (advantage Billingsley)
Overall, at first glance, the Dodgers should come up with a 1.0 point advantage, though most of it would come from the bottom of the rotation. And how do you see the imminent rivalry in starting pitching matchups next season?
