Pitching Advice Please! WHIR

[TheGhost]

My league awards 20 points for a win and -10 points for a loss. Are there any pitchers out there that are overrated in terms of the amount of losses they take? Obviously pitchers on winning teams will only help but what about individually? What pitchers fit this criteria the best?

well 2-1 win/loss ratio, I'd look for solid SP that will go 14-7 15-6 etc not world beating certainly capable. Look at the spare red sox pitchers, guys like Colon, Lowe, Buehrle, Cook, Danks, etc are solid examples of what can do. If Hudson is available to stash on your DL i'd grab him up.

if your looking for a good pitcher who is underrated because he tends to get alot of loses eventhough he pitches well, the first name that comes to mind is Matt Cain from San Francisco.
2007= 3.65 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 163 K in 200 IP ..but he went 7-16
2008= 3.76 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 186 K in 217 IP ..but he went 8-14
he should not have had such a bad W/L record in either of those seasons.
in a league where W and L count some might lose interest in someone like Cain, but based on his numbers he should have better W/L record than he has had.

another good pitcher who hasnt done well in W/L is Chris Young from San Diego.
2007= 3.12 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 167 K in 173 IP ..but he went 9-8
2008= 3.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 93 K in 102 IP ..but he went 7-6
in 2008 he had trouble mid season with an injury, but came back strong in September- 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 27 K in 34 IP.

help?

since you get points taken away for losses, i'd look for starting pitchers on teams who can score some runs... yankees, phillies, mets, red sox, angels, etc. take a look at the teams' depth charts to see if any #3 or #4 guys in the rotation are available.
