Default Re: Pitching Probabilities

Ehhh, I probably need to clarify here.

Mainly what I'm looking for has more to do with how much better is an ace, and #2 starter than average? And how much worse is a #4 & #5 starter than average?

I'm not so concerned with the win-loss results, per se. It's more like, how much more valuable are the top 2 compared to league average, and how less valuable are the bottom 2 compared to league average? It's more about giving the team a chance to win, and less about what has happened.

Also, if y'all can chime in on the quantifiable effects of pitching on short rest as compared to extra rest, that would be awesome. These deductions/increases should affect each pitcher in a 5-man rotation identically, hypothetically.
