The LCS Starters Have Startling Good

AuthorBill Chuck - Managing Editor | DateWednesday, October 16, 2013 at 9:48AM
I don't think we can minimize how outstanding the starting pitchers have been in this postseason, but particularly in each League Championship Series.

As I have detailed in my piece on Billy-Ball.com, the overall numbers for the starters including a combined ERA under 2.00 and WHIP under 1.000, are a much better indicator of their effectiveness than the 5-5 record they have.

Check out how the 14 starters have done
