Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics

I can’t pretend to know if these statistics mean anything or not, so it’s hard for me to lie using them. I’ll just give them to you and let you lie to yourselves.
As the Washington Nationals descend upon Citi Field, here are some away team statistics of theirs to consider beside some home team statistics for the Mets.
BATTING BA OBP SLG OPS
Mets home: .287 .368 .432 .800
Nats away: .286 .361 .462 .823
PITCHING ERA BAA OBP SLG OPS
Mets home: 3.38 .247 .316 .373 .689
Nats home: 6.43 .315 .400 .492 .892

Well, if I’m interpreting these right, it all comes down to pitching. Pitching, pitching and more pitching. Something I’ve been saying all along.
With this ‘Mash’ unit we’ve currently got – as Cohen as dubbed them, the only way we’re going to get this done and stay in it until everyone gets healthy is for the pitching to step up big time and consistently give us a chance to win each ballgame.
