The Columbus Clippers are in town, apparently having spent their day off in the lovely city of Durham, North Carolina. They are the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and typically enjoy solid fan support at home. As with most teams in the North and West Divisions, they have had a lot of weather problems this year and have only played 24 games to the Bulls 27. Indianapolis at 17-8 is leading the West, 5½ games ahead of the Columbus.
The
Pythagorean Expectation for the Clippers is that they should be at 12-12 instead of 11-13. That implies a weakness among their relievers. A glance at their
pitching stats seems to confirm this. Meanwhile, the Durham Bulls PE is 16-11, that is the Bulls have won
more games than “expected”, which implies just the opposite, that the Bulls relievers are above average.
