Pitcher ADP ERA xERA BPV =============== === ==== ==== === Corbin, Patrick 227 3.26 2.86 159 Paxton, James 74 3.70 3.20 159 Cole, Gerrit 77 2.54 3.03 154 Bauer, Trevor 131 2.32 3.09 152 Pivetta, Nick 431 4.85 3.38 152 Greinke, Zack 49 2.96 3.33 147 Nola, Aaron 61 2.42 3.27 126 Porcello, Rick 237 4.03 3.87 117 Gibson, Kyle 436 3.42 3.89 88 Newcomb, Sean 310 3.23 4.29 57
