2015 Angels Best Lineup (vs LHP)

.
After looking at the Angels best lineup vs RHP, I am now going to use my simulator to take a look at the best lineup vs LHP. The only change to the starting nine is that I will remove Matt Joyce at DH with the right handed hitting C.J. Cron. My simulator plays actual games and takes pretty much everything (meaningful) into account. This is only an exercise and I am not in any way advocating that the Angels should use these top ranked lineups. I am listing the top five ranked lineups vs LHP along with tables that used the Top 100 lineups to show trends of most common lineup patterns.

2015 Angels Best Lineup (vs RHP)

Now I move on to the best lineups for the Angels.  I am using my simulator to see what batting order it thinks gives the Angels the best chance of winning.  Methodology: Go through each possible lineup given the nine most likely starters as listed by MLB Depth Charts website and have the simulator play tens of thousands of games using each lineup against a fictitious but static opponent and see which Angels lineup wins the most games. Now keep in mind there are nine factorial (or 362,880) possible lineups. My simulator is fast, but it is not fast enough to look at all possible lineups while simulating a high enough sample size of games to get a reliable result. So what I did was put in a few limitations, like not allowing a lineup that had Mike Trout batting 8th or 9th and not allowing a lineup that had Albert Pujols batting 8th or 9th and not allowing lineups that had left handed hitters hitting back to back (unless they were paired batting 9th and 1st). This cut down on the possible number of lineups but still gave me too many lineups. So I then took a random sample of 10,000 lineups that met the filter I was using. So there still may be a few good lineups out there but of those 10,000 lineups here are what the simulator calculated to be the best 50. Keep in mind that the simulator is using 2015 Steamer Projections. The simulator plays actual baseball games and takes pretty much everything you can think of (that is meaningful) into account. The results are sorted by wins per 162 games behind the top ranking lineup.

12/28 Edit: @Tangotiger has asked to see how the worst lineup and the reverse of the best lineup do on this chart so they will be added to the bottom of the table.

Analysis:  The first thing that sticks out to me is that the simulator does not like Mike Trout hitting 3rd or 4th for some reason.  It seems to only like him hitting 2nd, 1st or 5th.  It could be that it likes Mike Trout on base for when Albert Pujols and or Josh Hamilton coming up to bat.  And there are three players (Matt Joyce, Erick Aybar and David Freese) who get at least one listing at each spot in the batting order and Kole Calhoun slots into 8 different spots.   Pujols bats 3rd or 4th in 44 out of 50 scenarios and Trout bats 1st or 2nd in 39 out of 50.  Calhoun and Joyce are the next two hitters that you see at the top of the lineup frequently.  And at the bottom of the order you Iannetta, Freese, Rutledge and Aybar the most.

2015 Dodgers Best Lineup (vs LHP) Part II

.
I am looking at best lineup vs LHP again for the Dodgers using my simulator.  This time i substituted out Carl Crawford for Scott Van Slyke and substituted Joc Pederson out for Chris Heisey for platoon advantages purposes.  There are a few surprises here, mainly so many highly ranked permutations liking Van Slyke hitting leadoff.  Van Slyke mashes left handed pitching with both a high OBP and SLG with average speed at best.  So this is not a result you would see using traditional lineup building methods.  Of course very little logic and analytical thinking is put into the traditional methods as you tend to see a lot of inertial reasoning behind the arguments of where prototypical hitters should bat in the lineup.  So with no further ado, here are the Top 50 lineups vs LHP with the listed substitutions above along with a list of how many times each of the 8 hitters appears in each lineup spot.

2015 Dodgers Best Lineup (vs LHP)

Now I take a look at the Dodgers best lineup(s) vs left handed pitchers. I used the same 8 starters as I did when I looked at best lineups vs RHP. I may do this again putting some right handed bats in for a few of the left handed hitters. You may notice that the best lineup vs RHP is ranked 9th vs LHP.

2015 Dodgers Best Lineup (vs RHP)

The Dodgers have made quite a few changes to their roster this month and I figured it would be a good idea to run the currently projected starters through my simulator to see which lineups it thought were the best.  First off, I looked at the best lineup vs RHP.  After a few iteration it became obvious that the lineups the simulator liked the most had the threesome of Puig-Gonzalez-Grandal hitting somewhere in the 3-4-5 spots in the lineup.  So in this exercise I took all the possible lineups with those three hitting in the 3-4-5 spots in any order with the added caveat of not allowing any left handed hitters to hit back to back (170 total permutations).  For input, I used 2015 Steamer projections.  I simulated each game 100,000 times.  While yes, there is a margin of error but you will definitely see what the simulator feels is the best lineups grouped near the top.  If you aren't familiar with it, my simulator simulates actual baseball games and takes pretty much everything you can imagine into account.  Keep in mind this is just an exercise and I am not advocating using these top lineups nor am I expecting the team to do so.  But I do believe that lineup construction is something that teams should worry about a little bit more as over the course of the season an NL team could easily add another win or two to their total.  As a side note, the lineup that MLB Depth Charts lists as the most likely lineup ranks #42.

Miscellaneous Notes:

1) The best defensive players on the Brewers are CF-Carlos Gomez, SS-Jean Segura and C-Jonathon Lucroy

2) Brewers 2B-Scooter Gennett can not hit left-handed pitching to save his life.  Rickie Weeks will hit for him if a LHP comes in to face him.

3) The Brewers have three former starting pitchers in their bullpen... Zach Duke (169 GS), Tom Gorzelanny (121 GS) and Marco Estrada (71 GS).

4) The Brewers have three holes in their bullpen... Marco Estrada, Jeremy Jeffress and Brandon Kintzler.

5) Brewers hitters do not draw very many walks... Lucroy and Reynolds are the only two who draw an average amount of walks.

6) Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson is probably better than projection systems currently give him credit for.
