Comparing team offenses: Reds vs. Astros

28 Sep 2009 10:12:30 PDT

Written by JinAZ
This is pretty simple. The Reds have played 1 more game than the Astros. Both teams score just over 4 runs per game. So, given this, you'd expect the Reds to have ~4 more runs than the Astros. This, plus the park effects above, would rank the Reds and Astros offenses as almost exactly equal.

Key Plays Things started off promisingly for the Reds. Jason Schmidt hadn't pitched in the majors since 2007, and it showed when he gave a long fly ball to Willy Taveras. It hit the top of the wall, and the review determined that it was a triple, robbing Willy of his second home run of the year. ...
