Once you understand that today's weather conditions will have an effect on one or both teams (see Science-->Neeley Scale and Science-->Hitter Science-->What is VMI) and you know the ADI scale being used for pitchers and the VMI scale being used for hitters, then;

Select Games

1. Check today's schedule; Go to Reports-->Pitcher's ADI's; Look for mismatches between home and road teams using today's VMI's (in parentheses).  The higher plus VMI's means more scoring vs. teams with higher minus VMI's.  But, don't stop there!
   
   
2. Once you have favorite games selected, go to Reports-->Detailed Match-Ups.  Select your game to look at the Starting Pitchers' historical effectiveness via hit percent per strike thrown by type of pitch he normally throws.  Make a note of which two pitches he throws most and the opponents production against those pitches within that VMI range.
   
   
3. We have wrapped his best pitches into a bundle (i.e. Tight = fastball pitcher w/ typical slider, curve or change-up) with a score attached that compares him to other fastball pitchers within that category.  Soon you will see a correlation among pitchers.
   
   
4. At the bottom of that page are definitions of the pitcher-types.
   
   

Before you sign up as a pro member, you should have a good handle on pitcher types and the effectiveness of each type of pitch.  You should also take a periodic look at Sortable Stats Report #1 on team effectiveness by pitch type.  The VMI is based on the hitters' most recent exposure to field altitude and weather within the MLB Road travel schedule.
