1. bfan Posted: October 19, 2021 at 08:02 AM (#6047368)One hopes this is at least something like 24 for your #1-2 starters, 21 for #3 and 18 for #4-5. Some of this is due to openers obviously but there's no easy way to adjust for that.
The Dodgers started Knebel in G5 against the Giants and removed him after one (4 BF). Later Urias pitched 4 innings, 15 BF. That 4 BF "start" pulls the average down a lot more than the 15 BF would have. If you use Urias's 15 then the Dodger starters in that series faced 102 batters which is still not a lot but not crazy low. Buehler on short rest was pulled after 71 pitches (understandable) but was allowed 25 batters and 99 pitches in G1. Obviously not strictly comparable but the Dodgers averaged 20.9 BF/start in the regular season so it's not clear they're doing much different, beyond adjusting for Buehler's short rest and Scherzer's relief outing (and Knebel). FWIW, Giant starters faced 104, would have been more but DeSclafani got pulled early.
