Opponents scheduled starters
In your team home page you can see bottom left your upcoming opponents with their scheduled starting pitchers. This information is very inacurate however. Example below shows Mike Minor two days in a row. See this quite often, not sure what causes this.
If we look at our next opponent, Arizona, we see that Saunders will pitch today, followed by Kennedy and then Hudson. If we then look at the Arizona starting rotation we see that Saunders is indeed the scheduled starter. However the AI then BLINDLY assumes that no 1 will follow no 5 and no2 will follow no 1. It always uses this reasoning when determining the scheduled starters. The starting rotation as shown is however NOT the order in which they rotate, but it shows how the AI assesses these pitchers. So Kennedy is rated as the no 1 pitcher, Hudson no 2 etc. If we look at Kennedy's status we see that he pitched yesterday, so he is certainly not going to pitch tomorrow.
This makes the information of the scheduled starters rather useless, which is a shame since it can be quite usefull when determining your lineups for the next couple of games.
