starters yes ! You can expect that they won't exceed a certain number of pitches, often about a 100. Sometimes its even announced beforehand... Joe Wanker coming back from injury will be on an 80 pitch count tonight.
The guy could be blown out in 1st inning and be gone in 25 pitches. Early in the season pitchers don't go as deep, like 110 pitches that they might do in June.
100 pitches is a number where the manager often thinks about pulling the guy out.

Its a tough spot to cap. One key thing is the starter needs to pitch 5 innings to get credit for a Win. The guy might have a fortunate lead like 4-1 after four, but be losing his stuff, and lucky to have the lead. The manager lets him pitch another inning routinely to have a chance to get the "W", even if he falters in the 5th.
Don't get trapped into betting ( early season) props like X over 90 pitches, when his average is 103 pitches.

Specifically I'm looking to get an expected pitch count for a Game. I would think that would mean matching the Pitchers average count to the oppositions count or batting hits. As I said I'm a greenhorn at Baseball but I need to get this formulated in order to see if its significant, anyone who helps I'm willing to share my already far down the road system with. :drink:
