Tier Combo Table

Tier variances range from +4 to -4 in Lineups/Pitcher columns below. These caps have been removed from display. The square root of a variance is standard deviation. Tier Combo integers are derived by subtacting Starter and Relief tiers from opposing team's lineup tier value shown in the table below.

Away/Home colors in tier column entries show which team is favored in that matchup and by how much. Tier Combo integers range from -6 to +6.

NOTE: The simulator that normalizes player WAA based on the difference between a team's real WAA and run differential WAA was used in this game. Tier numbers may differ from those published in LSR tables. This often happens due to large differences in dPE between the two teams.
