I never said Tillman is having a better year this year (he's clearly not) - but I still think he's the better pitcher overall. As I said, the Coliseum was helping Kazmir greatly this season (1.36 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 10 starts vs. 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP elsewhere prior to the trade). He's off to a great start in Houston, but you can't deny that pitching in Oakland moved his numbers from "good" to "great" this season. We'll see how he does moving forward.

Kazmir's park adjusted ERA+ is 186 for the year. That's really, really good, regardless of the ballpark.
