At times this year, every Royals starter (not named Sanchez) has turned in an above average outing - a few performances even Ace-like. To determine if the Royals have an actual Ace on this team, the table below shows the Royals record when each pitcher starts a game, along with the average score of games when the team win and when the team loses (different from pitcher record and ERA).
As a team, the Royals are winning 45% of their games, essentially the same as in the Luis Mendoza games. Those above the (Luis) Mendoza line are either spot starters or have a brand new TJ tattoo. The big-three starters coming into the season (Chen/Hoch/Sanchez) are looking up at the (Luis) Mendoza line (assuming Sanchez cares to look).
Several interesting things to note:
- average score in Royals wins is 4.8 - 2.0
- average score in Royals losses is 6.6 - 3.5
- despite Hoch's trouble, he basically matches Chen
