Back-End Bullpens: The Hidden Stat That Predicts October Survivability
Aces of pitching staffs and superstar position players are great, and will undoubtedly help teams reach the World Series. However, once that team gets there, the success of those players may only go as far as the bullpen allows. Placing futures on the Fall Classic is not just about which team has the better starters or lineup, but also which team can rely on their bullpen.
Determining a good bullpen goes beyond traditional statistics like ERA. Handicappers must dive into metrics such as Win Probability Added (WPA). Bullpens that rank highly in WPA tend to allow their manager a ton of flexibility late in games and throughout a series, as the relievers have proven they can continue strong pitching performances from the starters or stop rallies in their tracks.
Out of the last ten champions, six of them have had their bullpen rank inside the top ten in WPA during the regular season. Additionally, of the four teams that ranked outside the top ten during the regular season, they finished 1st in WPA by the end of the postseason. With that, bettors can add this metric to the list of stats they look at when placing futures either during the regular season or during the postseason.
