pls explain how these fantasy points count. I dont know much about baseball.

I would be glad to break down how Bitcoin Sports Trade fantasy points work.

Key Statistics + Fantasy/Live Statistics Breakdown

Looking at the player/contest page you will see key stats(light grey) and fantasy points(darker grey).
The lighter grey area shows the pitchers statistics for:
1. Home/Away Stats Average
2. Vs Team stats Average(blank if first time playing this season)
3. Last Game Stats Average
4. Last 5 Average
5. Season Stats Average

Down below this column, you will see another light grey bar which indicates the pitchers Fantasy Points Per Game.

Now look to the right column of the graph and you will see
1. Season Fantasy Average(the average Fantasy Points the player earns per game)
2. Live Total(this will show live and update during the game of actual pitching statistics)
3. Scoring(this is the multiplier for each statistic)
4. Live Fantasy(How many Fantasy Points the player has during/after the game)

The live Fantasy Points are highlighted using a black background.

Stats Explained:
Similar to fantasy sports contests, we use a multiplier for every stat line.
Our Stats are as follows:
IP=Innings Pitched
SO=Strike Outs
BB=Base on Balls(walks) Allowed
H=Hits Allowed
HR=Home Runs Allowed
ER=Earned Runs Allowed
W=Pitcher Awarded Win For Game
L=Pitcher Awarded Loss for Game
CG=Complete Game Pitched
CGS=Complete Game Shutout Pitched
NH=Pitched A No-Hitter

Stat Multipliers:
IP= 4.2 Fantasy points
SO= 4.0
BB= -1.2
H= -1.2
HR= -2.0
ER= -3.0
W= 8.0
L= -3.0
CG= 5.0
CGS= 5.0
NH= 10.0

How This Works:
Each total will be multiplied by the Scoring Column.
If a pitcher pitched 8 innings, for that stat he will receive 8*4.2= 33.6 Fantasy Points

If a pitcher wins you will see a 1 in the W column and a 0 in the L column.

I hope this helps!
