Could you do a test where you clone Marshall twice and put him in the Dodger bullpen as two of the setup men, too? This, of course, wouldn't solve the player-usage issue, but it might go along way to solve the riddle... Although, given the rest-of-LA's-pitching-staff numbers you've noted, we pretty much know that LA's bullpen would be significanly improved, and this would have to translate to more wins.

As for the Angels, have you tried any tests where you trim their steal frequency to get close to RL numbers, AND deal with May (get rid of him early in the season) and Singer (give him an injury or demote him) so their Games Started are more in-line w RL?
