Which guys are good against lefties? Which batters struggle against soft tossers? Conversely, which arms struggle at home or dominate hitters with swing and miss tendencies? In what can be a maddening game of chasing numbers down a rabbit hole, it’s nice to have someone hold your hand and guide you through the maze, or better yet, morass of data that is available to break down player performance. No longer will you have to check three websites, and click on link after link to find the data you desire for each player to get individual data that you can use to your advantage. Into that void steps Ted Schuster. Ted spent hours, days, weeks even, mining the data to provide to you, our loyal followers, the data that you need to know in order to navigate the minefield that is the splits game.
In this four-part series, Ted Schuster will do all the heavy lifting for you breaking things down into: (1) AL Hitter Splits, (2) NL Hitter Splits, (3) AL Pitcher Splits and (4) NL Pitcher Splits.
The Pitcher Splits have a breakdown of every expected starting pitcher this coming season. We are looking for the splits that stand out whether it be home/road, ballpark, month, performance on how many days rest, opponent and even the impact of umpires. Keep in mind these are career numbers so some pitchers have gotten better or worse as their career has gone on. This is a helpful resource when deciding what pitchers to stream this season or use in DFS based on historical factors.
We’ve provided Ted’s actual spreadsheets so that you can download the data and massage it any way that you would like to. Just click on the DOWNLOAD tab at the top of the page right under the picture to get started on your splits journey.
*NOTE: All the teams are broken down in each league. Simply click on the team abbreviation at the bottom of the spreadsheet to start your journey.
