There are far more factors involved than that. You are oversimplifying.
Do I have to face Sheets and Sabathia in those five games, or Aaron Cook and Jorge De La Rosa?
Are the games at home or away?
What is the umps' strike zone like?
Does the other team run well, and does mine pitch to contact? Do they work the count? Do their pitchers pound the zone and do my hitters take a lot of 1st pitch strikes?
