RECORDS EXPLANATION:

BASEBALL INSIGHT RECORDS EXPLANATION:

Team records at top are Won-Loss and, for some categories, average runs scored per game (by the team's offense) in the listed categories. LEFT is record v. Lefthanded opponent starting pitchers, RIGHT is v. righthanded starters.

Example: if Home v.Right is 2-3 5.2, then the team won 2 games and lost 3 in home games when a righthanded opponent started against them, and scored an average of 5.2 runs in those games.

Average score lists team - opponents runs per game, by average runs, home & away games. A score of 4.8 - 4.5 means the team outscored opponents average 4.8 runs per game to 4.5

Over/Under record is against the run totals betting line, also broken down for Home and Away games.

BULLPEN ERA is for the season so far home and away games, followed by bullpen ERA for last 10 games.

Unearned Runs per Game - runs given up on errors.

Pitcher records show team Won-Lost in games the pitcher started and his Earned Run Average in each category, HOME, AWAY, DAY, NIGHT, GRASS, TURF. No relief work is included in any starting pitcher statistics. Asterisk (*) indicates lefthanded pitcher

Last3 is last three starts, with, say, lww meaning he won the last 2 after a loss, with the ERA in the 3 games. These are 2007 games only after first update.

QS/QS% are Quality Starts & percentage of starts that were quality.

DOM%/DIS% is percentage of all the pitcher's starts with Game Ratings of 4 or 5 (DOMinating) or 0 or 1 (DISasters). Above 0.50 is good in the DOM category, below 0.17 is good in the DIS category. They are now divided in two lines, DOM/DIS%H for Home starts, DOM/DIS%A for Away games.

GMRATE is a rating for each start on a scale of 0 (very bad) to 5 (excellent). Like Last3, the most recent game is at the right, prior games going left. So 24335 would make the most recent game the 5, and the 5th game back a 2. There will be room for the last 10 starts.

Pitcher Past records are v. the opponents he could face this week . They cover: all starts v. these opponents in 2008, all starts v. opponents in 2007, all starts v. opponents in the last 3 years (3YEAR) - always 2005-2007, and starts v. opponent at home or away in the last 3 years (SITE3), which is always 2005-2007.

Example: if New York plays at Baltimore, SITE3 stats for the Yankees and their pitchers will reflect records away v. the Orioles 2005-2007. Same line for the Orioles will reflect their stats at home v. New York. Note that these starts are also included in the 3YEAR records. Check your daily schedule for home or away site. Some pitchers have changed teams or leagues in the 3-year span - these records include all starting work for the three-year period.

*.* means 10 runs/game average or higher, **.** means an ERA over 99.99.( or infinite, uncalculable)

Team records v. opponents are for same categories covered by the pitcher histories, this year, last year, last 3 years, site 3.

Logs are of the last 20 games played v. the opponent. Reading across they include opponent, year (blanks for current year), Date, Won/Loss, Home/Away, Day/Night, Runs, Opponent Runs, Starting Pitcher, starter's Innings Pitched, starters Earned Runs, opponent Starting Pitcher (3-letter abbreviation), whether OST was Left-/Right-handed, opening 10-cent Line, opening Over-Under number.

Statistics are current through games prior to each series covered, if possible. Next update will show second opponent first, then next scheduled opponent, etc.
