I make my decisions based on (1) FIP, (2) BB rate, and (3) K rate. From the Bronze data I've analyzed so far, the pitchers that'll give you the best chance of consistent success (55% or so win rate) are those posting 4.50 FIP and below, putting up better than 4.5 BB/9, and giving you at least 8.0 K/9. With the randomness inherent to Bronze quick tourneys, I feel any additional effort into observed stat analysis gives greatly diminishing returns for the time effort involved.
