SF +135 Reuter/Weaver

Play on the pitcher who took the loss in their last matchup.
Pitcher revenge is another theory I use as a tool. Okay, so I'm a tool. :howdy:

These two met on 4/6 with Weaver winning the duel by tossing a 5 hit shutout over 8 innings. Reuter did not pitch badly, 3 hits, 2 runs in 5 innings, but was saddled with the loss. That's gotta sting, especially with this rivalry.

"San Francisco will come back with a vengeance," Dodgers center fielder Milton Bradley said. "The second time against Weaver, after eight scoreless innings, they won't want that to happen again. Every time the teams play, it's a battle."

I usually only use this when both pitchers figure in the decision. At least the losing pitcher should take the loss. I will look at it when it is just a team win or loss when the pitcher get no decision, but it is probably not as strong a factor. I'd like to hear opinions on that. Anyone ever track this?

Wishing you the best, but noted in my response that these two pitchers did not face each other last week.

Ted, as usual, you are correct. I should always use two sources. Even Covers can't be perfect. Guess this makes it team revenge, since LA took 2 of 3. I like a team to bounce back after being shutout by a pitcher a week before anyway.
