HOU SP | #Starts | Record | #NDs | Team Rec in GS | Run Supp |
Roy | 21 | 6-4 | 11 | 11-10 | 4.75 |
Wandy | 20 | 10-6 | 4 | 14-6 | 4.56 |
Hampton | 17 | 6-7 | 4 | 6-11 | 4.03 |
Moehler | 17 | 7-6 | 4 | 10-7 | 4.68 |
Ortiz | 12 | 3-5 | 4 | 5-7 | 3.86 |
You may notice that the current SPs' NDs don't add up to 31, but keep in mind Backe (1 ND) and Paulino (3 NDs) have also started games this season. But Roy's 11 no decisions are brutal. So that got me wondering about other team's aces getting NDs. Let's look:
Team/SP | #Starts | Record | #NDs | Team Rec in GS | Run Support |
CHC/Zambrano | 18 | 7-4 | 4 | 12-6 | 4.38 |
StL/Wainwright | 21 | 11-7 | 3 | 14-7 | 5.79 |
MIL/Gallardo | 20 | 9-7 | 4 | 11-9 | 4.00 |
CIN/Cueto | 20 | 8-7 | 5 | 11-9 | 3.84 |
PIT/Duke | 20 | 9-9 | 2 | 9-11 | 4.75 |
A couple of things stand out about this. I was surprised to see Roy get that kind of run support and still have 11 no decisions. I also found it surprising that Duke and Wainwright had the same or more run support per start. What do you take from this, class?
