For starters, here is how I added up the numbers, showing you which stats I added more weight to and why. If you only care about who I choose, then you can skip over the next few paragraphs.
My Methodology/Madness
Wins + (4.00 – ERA) multiplied by 10 + Complete Games + Shutouts + Innings Pitched + Strikeouts + (K/BB multiplied by 5) + (1.30 – WHIP) multiplied by 100 + (4- FIP) multiplied by 10 – (Wild Pitches + Balks) multiplied by 2
W+(4-ERA)*10+CG+SHO+IP+SO+(K/BB*5)+(1.3-WHIP)*100+(4-FIP)*10-(WP+BK)*2
For explanation, FIP is Fielder Independent Pitching on an ERA scale which can be defined at Fangraphs as:
a pitcher’s FIP, or Fielding Independent Pitching, which calculates a pitcher’s responsibility for the runs he allows based on his walks, strikeouts, and home runs allowed. The FIP formula is (HR*13+(BB+HBP-IBB)*3-K*2)/IP, plus a league-specific factor that scales FIP to match league average ERA for a given season and league.
