Are there any particular team matchups in which one team gets favored over another? I play with my two friends. I play Boston, Friend A plays Minnesota and Friend B plays Detroit. I always beat Friend A, Friend A always beats Friend B, and Friend B always beats me. Does Boston play particularly bad against Detroit? Does Detroit pay particularly bad against Minnesota? What's going on here?

Well, assuming everyone's pretty equal, Minnesota should rarely beat Detroit. The only teams that my friends use on a competitive basis are Detriot, Boston and California.
All depends on the style of play and the style of players...
For us, California doens't match up well at all against Detroit. Cali has no lefties pitchers while Detroit has Hernandez. I personally think Hernandez is the biggest difference between Cali and Detroit...
Boston is a much better team against detroit because they have a lefty pitcher and Hernandez can't do shit against an all-righty lineup...
I'll defer the curve matchups to others, but pitching well with Blyleven is the key with Minnesota. If you are on with Bertus, you can beat any team in curve...
