The basics of matching pitchers to a park?

Well I've been at this for a whole 10 or so seasons now. I've been fairly successful in ATG with a lot of playoff appearances and a couple championships, but............... I play in a private league with mostly local friends. A couple guys taking strat fairly seriously, but mostly they are just having fun and that's OK. I have been invited to play in a moderately challenging league so I need to get better. I have hitting figured out well enough for now, pitching not so much. I usually have a couple SPs around $6-8M, and a couple $3M. A super reliever like Sutter and a light pen other than that. I use F8 for the good starters and maximize use of Sutter for the weaker SPs. I have little idea what pitcher attributes would be more optimal in a lefty or rightly hitting ballpark, or park size. My park and the division of course. I think the reality is overusing a good reliever every season is the only reason I've been successful enough at pitching. Thanks.

1) don't believe anything gibsons or denelectros tell you (could be an esoteric joke for some

2) I believe the basics are - if a pitcher has a lot of BP hits and Homers and you play him in a park with low ratings for those things they will do relatively well

3) I also look at the %s of lefty vs. righty faced, like the 8 or 9L Gil Hodges faced lefties in the actual season well less than 20% of the time, to I like to use him on teams where he will see plenty of lefties, which is indirectly related to the park he plays in, but you get the drift, I bet

What Patrick says, although I would put the #3 more important than #2.

The best rotation is one that exploits your opponents' weaknesses. If you see a trend in your division (or perhaps even in your league), say many teams going nuts with lefty power, then you should exploit that and go nuts with lefty pitching or reverse righty pitchers. If you see teams without running abilities, go on with pitchers with bad holds (on average, they are better than pitchers with good holds). Etc Etc.

This said, you don't know the strength and weaknesses of your rivals before getting into a league. So preparing for a draft, I would simply try to avoid ballpark homeruns or singles on the sides I set them high in my stadiums. Avoid any ballpark homeruns on the left side if I go with Ameriquest or Jarry Park, as an example. Avoid ballpark singles if you go with Coors Field.

I have another theory, although I am not sure there is much ground into it, but my pitchers' selection differs if I go with Coors Fields (lots of singles, lots of homeruns), instead of US Cellular Stadium (low on singles, lots of homeruns). In both case, I avoid the BP homeruns. But I will also avoid on-base as much as possible in Coors Field--I will prefer pitchers who allow their fair share of doubles or triples.

In other words, for Coors Field, I would prefer Lady Baldwin over Doc White, but would do the opposite for US Cellular.
