Best Pitching Staff based by this year's performance

[ATECH]

I like the Cubs pitching better in a playoff type setting. The Cardinals staff on paper before this year was a bunch of unprovens and retreads. But for the season, the Cardinals staff has got the job done, but may have some problems in the playoffs IMO.

how 'bout the marlins? especially when they had penny. i doon't have all the numbers, but i remember at one time, they were near the top in a couple of cats.

They've been dropping, and we're overrated because of the park anyway.

Florida's rotation isn't bad either with::

J. Beckett: 6-8, 4.05 ERA, and 1.24 WHIP
A. Burnett: 5-6, 3.91 ERA, and 1.21 WHIP
C. Pavano: 16-5, 3.09 ERA, and 1.18 WHIP
D. Willis: 9-9, 3.97 ERA, and 1.37 WHIP
I. Valdez: 12-7, 5.23 ERA, and 1.48 WHIP

Leading the league in ERA:

Atlanta Braves

Russ Ortiz (14-6) 3.67 ERA 1.46 WHIP
Jaret Wright (14-6) 3.19 ERA 1.32 WHIP
Paul Byrd (6-4) 3.62 ERA 1.09 WHIP
Mike Hampton (11-9) 4.70 ERA 1.60 WHIP
John Thomson (10-8) 4.21 ERA 1.36 WHIP

They lead the majors with a 3.76 ERA

Not if you count all IP by all guys who have started. Then it's Cubs 3.72 versus 3.81

That's pretty much why I said Cubs:
Zambrano 2.94 ERA, 1.23 WHIP
Clement 3.44 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
Maddux 3.7 ERA, 1.18 WHIP
Wood (106.1 IP) 3.3 ERA, 1.2 WHIP
Prior (81.1 IP) 4.87 ERA, 1.51 WHIP

It's disgusting that I own both Prior and Zito.

Mitre had bad outings for the Cubbies, but Glendon Rusch was superb in his fill-in starts. I can't find the stats for just his starts, but his total stats are:
3.67 ERA, 1.24 WHIP in 105.1 IP (12 starts)

The Cards' has more depth it seems, but the Cubbies' Zambrano and Clement at the top is too good.

no love for the yankees starting pitching?

nah

the twins picthing staff has been pretty good too with santana and radke. silva had a great first half and nathan has been awesome.

right now, cards and Braves are tied at 3.67.

a couple of Mets SP are amongst the luckiest in all of baseball.

and i'd be careful not to overlook the AL pitching staffs. the difference between the production of 7,8,9 hitters in the AL and NL is staggering.

anyways, i think its the Cards for now.
