The thing you have to worry about with Burnett is that he is a high WHIP guy. High WHIP guys can get away with it against bad teams as they can get out weak hitters who don't take advantage of the men on base. Against better hitting teams high WHIP guys tend to give up more runs. 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.
