The table above lists every Ben Brown start that appeared in Bookie Bullies'
daily MLB coverage. ERA shown is what the model used at that point in the season,
not a retroactive value. The "Pick Result" column reflects whether a pick we made
on Ben Brown's team won, lost, or pushed. Pushes count separately. "Pending"
means the game hasn't graded yet.
How does the model rate Ben Brown's starts?
Ben Brown's starts are scored by FIP and xFIP (park-and-league-adjusted), recent form trend (last 3 starts ERA delta vs season), velocity drop penalty when last start had velo decline, home/road and day/night splits, opposing lineup xwOBA vs handedness, and pitcher H2H history vs the opposing team regressed at 50 TBF. The model also factors bullpen quality (in case Ben Brown exits early), park factors, weather, and umpire tendencies.
