Picking up on a thought here:
| P | ERA | H/9 | HR/9 | BB/9 | K/9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 3.41 | 8.53 | 0.65 | 3.08 | 5.52 |
| B | 3.56 | 8.90 | 0.71 | 3.09 | 4.60 |
Now, if you signed Pitcher A as a free agent and got the numbers in row B out of him, you’d feel like you got your money’s worth, wouldn’t you? Well, except for one little problem:
| P | ERA | H/9 | HR/9 | BB/9 | K/9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | 2.86 | 8.69 | 0.89 | 2.94 | 5.60 |
| D | 9.37 | 14.15 | 3.05 | 4.57 | 2.83 |
If you take out his performance against the Mets and Braves, A is Tom Glavine’s pitching record as a Brave, and B is his record as a Met; astonishingly similar, actually. But C is Glavine’s record against the Mets, and D is his record against his former teammates in Atlanta. Glavine went 16-7 career against the Mets, a .696 winning percentage compared to .620 against all other teams. With the Mets, he’s gone 1-7 against Atlanta, .125 compared to .455 against all other teams.
