Separate Stats vs L and vs L Starter. That's where expectation about how deep the starter will go factors in. But at least 1 PA is likely if not 2 or 3 when a lefty is starting. McCormick got lucky he got to face lefties in a game started by a righty.
Cleveland has a lot of nice batting averages at the top half of their order. You don't see .290 .290 .280 .290 .270 much any more.
