Questions of the Week

Every Monday I am going to start asking a few questions about the sports world, and I will answer them and give comments as they get answered.

Are we going to see the Sabathia we saw Sunday against the Mariners more often this year?
Meaning similar performances of 105 pitches and no walks through 8 innings.


Are the Pistons that much better than the Cavaliers? Or was it a combination of the extra days off/time to prepare, and the Cavs having a let down after their first playoff series win?
Basketball isn't my strong suit, but as a die-hard Cleveland fan I hope they make it a series.


Between the Reds and Tigers, what surprising MLB team's pitching is gonna fade first?


If you look at each teams expected W-L record (XWL) you can see that the Reds are overperforming their RS/RA ratio, while the Tigers are actually a game worse than expected based on those two components. Detroit has allowed the fewest runs in the league, I can't think of anyone who would actually think they could maintain that for another month, let alone the rest of the season.
