I am only saying this once.

People keep mentioning Matsuaka as a Cy Young candidate. Let me be very clear. He is not even the Cy Young of the staff. It's John Lester.


Lester's inning pitched: 210.3
Matsuzaka's innings pitched: 167.7

Lester's WHIP: 1.27
Matsuzaka's WHIP: 1.32

Lesters's BABIP: .302
Matsuzaka's BABIP: .262

Lester's K's: 152
Matsuzaka's K's: 154

Lester's OBP Against: .320
Matsuzaka's OBP Against: .321

They each have 15 Win Shares. I am betting this is inflated b/c of the wins.
