pretty equal. While Verlander has a slightly lower ERA, Halladay has a much greater Strikeout to walk ratio. both have been horses. its hard to tell them apart, especially when you look at the last 10 Game log:

Verlander: W L W W W W W W W W

Halladay: W W W W W W W W W W

and those are TEAM wins, not individual win / loss. the only thing that matters is the team winning in the end.

Come on, team wins, team schmins. Verlander has thrown more innings, has the best WHIP in baseball (by a lot), more strikeouts, more quality starts, better ERA, better ERA+, and has opponents batting 52 points less against him than Halladay at this point in the season.

To tell the truth, there are about four pitchers in the AL (Verlander, Shields, Beckett, Weaver) who would all be frontrunners for NL Cy Young if they were in that league this year.
