Are you watching the duel between Halladay and Lee in Philly? Free agent signings often turn out to under-perform, but not these 2. Combined this year they are 34-12 with a 2.36 era. But look at how close they are as they push each other every week to be better:
HAL LEE
Starts 30 30
IP 219 219
ER 57 58
BA .241 .225
K/BB 7.0 5.3
ERA 2.34 2.38
Halladay has more wins 18 to 16, but Lee has 6 shutouts and has taken 2 others into the 9th. One earned run separates them after 30 starts. Halladay has allowed 228 baserunners, Lee 223. They are both surgeons!
But, neither might win the Cy Young; young lefty Clayton Kershaw (of Highland Park) is 19-5 with a 2.30 era and 236 K's in 218 innings. Verlander could win 25 in the AL. If you love great pitching (which I do), it's a feast.
