Kendrick has started 7 times with a 3.58 ERA and Blanton was only around 6 games before he went on the DL and had a terrible 5.5 ERA. neither of the two have been regulars. we often skip the 5th starter if there is a day off

Braves:

Tommy Hanson: 103.1 innings; 2.44 ERA; 109 SO; 35 BB

Totals of the main 5 pitchers in the rotations (throwing out Kendrick, Blanton, Minor, Teheren and Zito)


Phillies: 532.3 innings; average 2.71 ERA; 475 SO; 108 BB

Braves: 506.5 innings; average 3.07 ERA; 412 SO; 146 BB

Giants: 533.7 innings; average 3.19 ERA; 491 SO; 196 BB



so...... its an educated opinion that is supported by facts. except for now that I look at the whole picture, I might take the Braves over the Giants, close call though. Phillies ahead by a decent margin, especially when you factor in the SO/BB. this pretty much settles the arguement.


as far as overall team ERA: Phillies have a 3.02, Braves 3.11; Giants i believe are 3.17
