AS YOU KNOW I DID THIS IN NFL =IT WORKS GREAT
I DID THIS IN NBA (1ST YEAR) AND ITS 49-35 NOW = OK
I WOULD LIKE FEED BACK
WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT STAT?
WHERE CAN I FIND THEM SO THEY CAN BE UPLOADED?
I CANT FIND WHIP STATS...COULD IT BE NAME/DIFF?

> WHIP tells you how many runners on bases a pitcher allows per

> Anything under or around 1.4 is respectable, but anything over

> Another good thing about being WHIP oriented is that this

> before the bookies cut their prices.
>
> When it comes to batting, we can assume nearly all teams
> have similar batting strengths - you don't play for a Major
> League team if you don't bat well. The weaker teams that
> appear to have poor batting line ups are often facing better
