Let’s examine how handedness has affected Cubs pitching. Here are the OPS’s allowed by Cubs pitchers this year:
Righties vs. RHB LHB Difference Hart .674 1.330 .656 Marmol .434 .795 .361 Lieber .732 1.082 .350 Dempster .571 .682 .111 Marquis .699 .785 .086 Zambrano .622 .684 .062 Wood .571 .629 .058 Wuertz .741 .748 .007 Harden .593 .589 -.004 Howry .858 .787 -.071 Gaudin .722 .646 -.076 Lefties vs. RHB LHB Difference Eyre .909 .835 .074 Marshall .722 .824 -.102 Cotts .690 .793 -.103 Lilly .741 .885 -.144
A positive difference indicates the pitcher has done better against same-handed hitters; a negative difference means the pitcher has done better again opposite-handed hitters. All Cubs pitchers have been either more or less indifferent, or better against righties.
