MTro86's Bio

Matt has written for ReupSports in the past where he developed his unique pitching charts. He probably watches and reads more about baseball than any normal human being would find enjoyable, accumulating an incredible wealth of mostly useless knowledge, while he patiently waits for his jedi powers to manifest. In addition to writing the *Advanced Pitching Charts* column for RotoGrinders, MTro86 also heads up the premium "*MLB News Alerts*":https://rotogrinders.com/pages/lineup-email-alerts-mlb-252004 during baseball season.

    Yeah, but what I meant is that you're looking for different things (team level vs individual matchups), although I guess there are enough player props these days where it could be the same. Either way, it depends on rake/vig. Read More
