F5 Mets +108, Quintana/Civale
Well, no one expects to go 100% for the course of a season so at least I got that out of the way yesterday. My computer program is very angry with me this morning for playing the only side it got wrong in F5 action. Oh well, it will get over it. Move on.
A F5 handicap has to start with pitching and I rate Quintana clearly superior to Civale, but other factors are involved. To date the Mets have faced a far stronger schedule than the Rays, with 71% of their games vs teams over .500, while the Rays have faced opponents over .500 at only 38%. That sort of skews any perception of w/l records being comparable. With that easy schedule they should be far better than they are. They can already call it a rebuilding season and get on with the task. Stat wise, the Mets ae also a better hitting team vs righty than the Rays are vs. lefty.
BOL
There is a possibility I will have another later.
Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

Much of the beauty of F5 play is the s**t you DON'T have to worry about. Third time through the order, bullpens, managers, pinch hitters. Basically you have a mano-a-mano game between the starters. Teams offensive stats are righty-lefty, and not effected by the bullpen switch.
