So You’re Telling Me That Spin Rate is the Culprit? An Astros Rotation Breakdown

Everything is not always as it seems, and maybe it’s not as bad as we think it is for some of our slower starters. On the other hand, maybe the best we’ve seen isn’t as good as we thought. Today we’re looking at Houston’s five starters through the first 20 Houston Astros games. I’ve sorted by average GameScore, but you can take this “ranking” with a grain of salt. As always, a story of this sort at this point in the season requires a SSS disclaimer. While four starts have significance, an entire season is a much more significant LSS.
