Rankings I've created. (Higher number is better). The numbers just factor in how the pitcher performs using his basic pitching stats. They don't take into account a pitchers run support as that generally skews their won/loss record. I think a pitchers won/loss record is one of the worst stats in baseball as it doesn't measure the pitcher it's more of a team stat.
I've created a Projected won/loss record for each pitcher based on how they've actually pitched, independent of their teams offensive performance. I can post today's pitchers and what their won/loss record "should be" compared to what it actually is. Thought I'd share.
