All Star Spotlight - Which Team Has the Edge?

Interestingly enough, the results of the ATB all star game will determine home field advantage for the World Series in Bud Selig's MLB league.

Which ATB team will win though? With some of the great records in the Harry Caray league, I automatically assumed they had the best high end players, but this is not the case.


LINEUP: HC has the edge in power, but VS easily outpaces them in OBP which normally results in more runs being scored. EDGE: VS



ROTATION: While VS has the better ERA, the underlying stats of HC are a bit better. Better WHIP and better RCERA. SLIGHT EDGE: HC



BULLPEN: Call it even. Both bullpens are stellar, and the big difference in ERA is mostly dumb luck. EVEN.



BENCH: Here, HC does have a significant advantage as a 50 point lead in slugging trumps a 10 point lead in on base percentage.

The match-up appears even, with the key to the series falling on the battle between the Haray Carry Pitchers and the Vin Scully offense.
