3. The game, at least as of the 2015 version, mistakenly favors ground-ball pitchers. So highly rated pitchers with a low GB% give up lots of home runs. This is actually backward from real life, where sinker balls get hammered when they don't sink, and major league caliber flyball pitchers are good at keeping the ball in the park. So, pay attention to a pitcher's GB% as well as history of HRs allowed. I like to combine great infield defense with 70% GB starters.
