Hellickson vs. Beachy

Forgot about this, but Beachy ended up with a 2.00 ERA and Hellickson had a 3.10. Beachy missed over half the season with a blown out elbow so it wasn't really much of a race. #beachymania

well, the bet stated "a full run higher" so in the eyes of a neutral party I'd say you won.

except he could have easily given up runs and been over 2.10. No one knows because he did get injured.

There wasn't a bet, anyway. Truth be told I was expecting each of these guys to have an ERA about a run higher. Regardless, I'm amazed that Hellickson has been able to keep his ERA so low with such a terrible xFIP/SIERA. It's even more extreme than Cain/Weaver in that respect. It's a skill to some extent but this is pretty much unprecedented.
