This is pretty evident with Burnett who got killed this year by Boston, Philly, and Baltimore while dominating KC, Seattle, Florida, and the Mets. If Burnett can't control his WHIP and puts men on base the Phillies will take advantage.

good point. The way the umps call the game tonight will be a factor. If they squeeze the zone, it will be 9-7.
