Pitching Probabilities
I'm currently doing a little study, but I need the assistance of people more knowledgeable than myself here.
I'm trying to figure out what the hypothetical probabilities (I say probabilities but really looking for %) of each starting pitcher to win a ballgame. (Or I should say, give his team a chance to win). I'm guessing they look like this: Ace: 66% 2: 58% 3: 50% 4: 42% 5: 34% The range may be more like 36%-64%. 66% is pretty high and 34% seems low. Also, what kind of deduction can we expect if they pitch on short (1 day less) rest? I guestimate that they are 10% less effective on short rest. And finally, what increase in chance can we expect if they pitch on extended (1+ day more) rest? I guestimate that they are 8% more effective on extra rest. I also believe there is likely no real noticeable additional increase for 2 days extra rest, as opposed to 1 day extra rest. And, my guestimates may be off, but certainly short rest is more damaging than extra rest is improving. Thanks for the help, guys!
