Time For Tigers Righties To Step Up.
from motorcitybengals-tigersblog

If you ignore how they have actually fared against lefties in 2012 ? beating this Tigers lineup in Comerica Park looks like an extremely tough task for Sabathia and Pettitte in games 4 and 5. Both like to pitch ? at least if you go by the splits ? against bad teams and left-handed hitters and they like to do it at home. Tough. They?ve got a good team, full of right-handed hitters, on the road. Who doesn?t prefer to pitch to bad teams, you say? Well? Justin Verlander for one. Max Scherzer for another. Most pitchers do better at home, but this year Sabathia has a 4.02 ERA and .754 OPS allowed on the road (compared to 2.69 and .565 at home). On paper, the Tigers have the same sort of righty-loaded lineup that they have for years ? that should clobber lefties, especially at home. Sabathia?s lifetime ERA against the Tigers is 4.46, precisely because they have usually had a lot of lefty-killers. I believe they still do ? and it?s time they showed it. And, of course, sent the Yankees home thoroughly swept and disgraced to spend the winter complaining about bad calls.

WAR Index for 2012's Starting Pitchers.
from beyondtheboxscore

Well, all of the systems can at least agree on one thing: Justin Verlander is the best pitcher in baseball. "Each system" gave Verlander "more WAR" than any other pitcher, so he sits atop the WAR Index. I'm not surprised at all.
