Pitcher A: 20-8 3.18 ERA 1.27 WHIP
Pitcher B: 18-12 3.43 ERA 1.29 WHIP
Same season same team.
Who do you want to start the must win game?
Is this even debatable?
Pitcher A allowed fewer earned runs, and fewer baserunners (barring hbp/errors ... fewer baserunners = less chance of unearned runs, although the whip difference is minute).
Plus, since I'm a psychic like bfkfraser, "I can tell he has something that enables him to win more, whether it is more stamina, more strikeouts, or ability to handle pressure situations better," since he had two more wins. Obvoiously those two wins had nothing to do with his teammates.
I imagine Pitcher A is some turd, and Pitcher B rulez. Who are they?
