On this May 2 edition of The Bettor’s Box, host Adam Burke went Beyond the Box Score to recap A’s vs. Red Sox and Padres vs. Braves at the top of the show. Then he looked at some pitcher regression candidates based on a variety of stats, like LOB%, ERA-FIP, and xwOBA, which are all important metrics to consider as sample sizes increase.
After this week’s Exit Velocity update, Adam recapped some line moves dating back to Monday and then previewed five series for this weekend. He talked about Cardinals vs. Cubs, Mariners vs. Indians, Royals vs. Tigers, Dodgers vs. Padres, and Astros vs. Angels, which will be played in Mexico.
