No lines were stored for this game.
Bar: 90% range of the average; dot = the average, line = the league's over the same dates (n = 2,987 league games, 38 worked). Above, below or in line is a statistical call: whether the 90% range sits clear of the league's number, not a percentage cutoff. Counts from games this official worked, which also reflect the teams and conditions of those games; who officiates is one of many things that shape a game.
Against this opponent since last season: 1 start, 6.0 IP, 7.50 ERA, 5 K.
Season numbers to date; a starter with few innings has a noisy line.
