In today's game between Tampa and Chicago, Rays announcer Brian Anderson said, "The White Sox are going to win the Central but they've really beat up on bad teams". A graphic was displayed showing they are 31-30 vs teams .500 or better, while they are 41-22 against sub .500 teams. Anderson then said, "people up there in Chicago are asking, 'how about beating the better teams'?"
Anderson's partner in the booth said, "isn't that what they say? 'Beat the teams you should beat, at least split with the better teams and you'll have a good record?' ".
Anderson, "well sure, but they've really beat up on some bad teams".
A little research shows the Rays are 35-33 against teams .500 or better and 31-15 vs sub .500 teams.
People watching that broadcast may be asking, "and he gets paid for that great analysis?"
