I'd still put his odds at better than 95%.

1930 was the year that the entire NL batted over .300 with an ERA of 4.97.
Terry was a rung or two above Herman for the year and for their careers, but the hitting in 1930 makes Lefty Grove’s pitching seem surreal. Terry and Herman not so much.
AL batting numbers in 1930 were a bit less than the NL, but Grove was a good part of the reason for the difference.
