Odorizzi's always had a big reverse platoon split, and he's much worse away from Tampa. OTOH the Jays hitters have not fared that well against him.
Btw the Jays are 1-8 in first home games back after a road trip, 31-16 all the other home games...
Yep. There was only one year where Lind could hit lefties at all, and he was an everyday player for a few years after that even though he couldn't hit lefties again. Finally they limited him to facing righties, who he could always hit.
Chavez has allowed a grand slam, two three run homers, three two run homers, and three solo shots, all in 41.1 innings. That's kind of impressive in a way.
That wouldn't end up as a one run game though. In games that end up as a one run difference they lose such an absurdly high proportion. It's supposed to be mostly random but it's been going on such a long time.
This explains why the Jays record is good in blowouts, and why a lot of their losses are close. What doesn't make sense is why they don't win more one run games. It doesn't explain why when they do get involved in a one run game, that they almost always lose it. I don't know what explains it. Been goin on for years tho..
