Prospectus Hit List for May 20

by Matt Sussman

Hit List for May 17

Rk	Tm	W	L	W1	W2	W3	HLF	AHLF	Win Div%	Win WC%	Playoff%	1-Day	7-Day
1		23	19	25.7	28.4	27.5	.599	.618	66.8%	16.6%	83.3%	-2.2%	-5.7%
		Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez went a combined 5 1/3 innings, allowing 14 runs at Texas. As we expected.
2		29	15	27.8	28.4	27.8	.598	.617	88.6%	4.1%	92.7%	0.9%	4.4%
		Jurickson Profar is back in the major leagues. With all the positions taken, they just need to invent a place for him to play. They're leaning toward zflurth base.
3		27	17	25.9	26.8	26.0	.565	.585	28.7%	38.4%	67.0%	3.8%	12.7%
		It looks like John Lackey is back-ey! I'm sorry, that was a bit hacky.
4		27	16	24.3	22.6	22.3	.563	.582	55.0%	27.1%	82.0%	-0.1%	-1.9%
		Nobody enjoys reminiscing about the 90s more than CC Sabathia's fastball.
5		25	17	24.6	25.1	24.7	.547	.567	26.7%	28.1%	54.7%	2.9%	12.4%
		Don't mind them, they just tagged Felix Hernandez for six runs and improved to 7-1 against Cy Young winners.
6		23	20	22.8	23.9	25.1	.541	.561	13.1%	29.2%	42.2%	4.4%	6.4%
		Only two of the 14 runs Matt Moore has allowed this season have not been via the home run.
7		26	18	27.3	26.9	25.7	.579	.559	40.9%	36.9%	77.8%	-3.2%	5.2%
		Don't worry, Aroldis Chapman. Who among us hasn't given up back-to-back home runs against the bottom of the Phillies lineup?
8		28	15	27.1	25.3	25.2	.567	.547	43.9%	33.0%	76.9%	2.2%	9.1%
		Their wins leader in May, with three? Seth Maness. The hands of fate.
9		25	18	25.4	25.7	25.0	.553	.533	61.3%	15.5%	76.8%	7.4%	10.9%
		Somehow, some way, their no. 8 hitters have a higher slugging (.490) than their cleanup hitters (.441).
10		23	22	22.8	22.5	22.0	.506	.526	7.3%	15.8%	23.1%	0.9%	1.0%
		They swept Kansas City, making it the cleanest it's been in years.
11		25	19	24.9	24.1	24.2	.540	.520	38.2%	17.4%	55.6%	-2.4%	7.9%
		Did you see Josh Collmenter's catch yesterday? The catcher tried to catch it, but then he couldn't, then Collmenter tried to catch it, then almost didn't, then finally caught it. I guess this is why we still need video.
12		23	20	23.3	22.5	22.5	.499	.519	3.0%	10.0%	13.0%	-3.3%	-15.1%
		You know it's another strange year for them when the big story is part of their foul pole not painted yellow.
13		26	18	24.2	24.0	23.9	.528	.508	13.8%	28.4%	42.2%	4.1%	5.4%
		They haven't allowed more than six runs in a game all month. This fact would be funnier on May 1.
14		20	20	21.6	18.8	19.0	.487	.507	4.1%	9.2%	13.3%	-2.6%	-3.6%
		For someone with a 6.51 ERA in five starts, a 1-2 record for Luis Mendoza is … lucky.
15		17	27	18.2	19.8	19.3	.486	.506	2.7%	9.6%	12.3%	0.3%	-8.3%
		Joe Blanton is allowing 15.4 hits per nine innings. I don't think that's good.
16		24	20	25.2	26.5	26.1	.521	.501	13.7%	9.8%	23.6%	3.6%	5.0%
		Dexter Fowler went 10-for-20 with seven runs against the Giants. Now That's What I Call A Series, Vol. 46!
17		20	24	19.7	22.1	22.4	.477	.497	1.4%	4.5%	5.9%	-3.6%	-2.9%
		Man, Eric Wedge losing three straight games in Cleveland really takes him back.
18		24	20	21.5	21.9	22.9	.513	.493	27.9%	12.7%	40.7%	-3.1%	-17.1%
		They allowed 52 runs in their six-game road trip, but the real reason they went 1-5 in this games? They forgot to pack enough clean underwear.
19		19	23	19.3	19.6	19.2	.465	.485	2.4%	4.5%	6.9%	-1.2%	1.4%
		After zero walks heading into this series, Jeff Keppinger walked twice against the Angels this weekend, so this isn't funny anymore.
20		23	21	20.0	19.9	20.1	.503	.483	31.6%	18.5%	50.1%	-8.3%	-8.0%
		They came in confident and wearing bright red, yet got embarrassed by a ragtag team wearing camouflage. This was the Revolutionary War all over again.
21		17	25	16.6	19.0	19.0	.498	.478	17.1%	9.1%	26.2%	-2.9%	-13.5%
		To quote Twitter savant @BobbyBigWheel, "Don Mattingly will become the first person fired by both Magic Johnson and Mr. Burns."
22		18	25	21.2	22.7	22.8	.491	.471	0.8%	5.5%	6.3%	-0.4%	-0.1%
		They're the first team to have two pitchers hit home runs this year. Congratulations!
23		17	26	17.0	15.6	17.0	.445	.465	0.3%	2.5%	2.8%	-0.1%	0.0%
		What was supposed to be a day of R.A. Dickey pitching against the Yankees, thanks to rain, turned into a day of claiming Thad Weber off waivers.
24		20	23	20.2	19.8	19.9	.467	.448	3.0%	2.4%	5.5%	0.8%	1.7%
		Twice they've scored at least 13 runs this year, which is twice more than last year.
25		18	22	18.9	17.0	18.0	.426	.446	0.1%	0.5%	0.6%	-0.1%	-0.9%
		How long until Twins fans are allowed to complain about outdoor baseball weather? Their time of game on Sunday was 3:15 with a three-hour delay.
26		17	25	17.9	19.2	20.5	.461	.442	0.6%	2.8%	3.4%	-0.8%	-3.0%
		On Friday Aramis Ramirez had six RBIs, and his team lost 7-6. He should've made one more player reach base.
27		21	23	18.1	17.9	18.1	.452	.432	4.5%	5.0%	9.5%	1.7%	-1.1%
		When Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis hit back-to-back home runs off Aroldis Chapman, you can assume there's a glitch in the matrix.
28		17	24	17.6	17.1	16.7	.451	.432	2.7%	2.9%	5.5%	1.1%	-2.3%
		Marlon Byrd batted cleanup? On purpose?
29		12	32	13.7	11.7	13.6	.337	.355	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.0%
		Against the Pirates this weekend, they lost on a dropped pop-fly, they lost 1-0, and they "won" a game, which is the weirdest type of loss.
30		12	32	13.2	11.6	11.4	.339	.321	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	-0.1%
		Don't look now, but they're on a tear, winning one of their last one games.
