Even if you adjust his ERA to the NL that statement is wrong. Hendricks was the better pitcher this year, PERIOD and it's not close. As was Lester.

So you are telling me that you would take Hendricks over Kluber? Kluber has better stuff than both of them and can blow through a team like the Cubs with no trouble if he is on. I like both Hendricks and Lester but they don't have the high end stuff of Kluber. Arrieta has much better stuff but can struggle with command at times and I would take him over both of those guys. You are a stat guy and I respect that but the game is played day to day and right now Kluber and Miller are the two best pitchers in the playoffs. I don't think they can win the series without another pitcher coming up big for them and I don't know who that might be.

What i'm telling you is that Lester and Hendricks had better 162 game seasons then Kluber. is KLuber pitching better right now? Yes, but again it's splitting Hairs, Hendricks ERA in the PS is about 1.5 and Kluber 1, both great. But, as discussed yesterday, he can't pitch every day and the rest of the Indians starting staff is suspect.
