9/3 vs Tigers

[User Name]

Holland is ahead in FIP, xFIP, WAR, and WPA. ERA didn't adjust for park difficultly, but ERA+, FIP, xFIP, and pitcher WAR do. It's a super thin margin between the two.

 

The other poster suggested Uehara for Cy Young consideration. Does Holland get any?

 

I've stated this before and i will again: The formulas for ERA+ and (x)FIP are not perfect, and cannot be seen as gospel for park-adjusted statistical purposes, specially when a season hasn't even finished. It is common knowledge however, that Kaufmann suppresses offense while Fenway enhances it. Holland may be (and probably is) getting a boost from an imperfect formula that doesn't do Koji justice in regards to park/division adjustments.

 

As for Cy Young consideration, i think neither should get any.
