Jeff Freier, Hot Stove New York – Jamie Moyer is 12-7 with a 3.80 ERA. Pedro is 5-3 and a 5.07 ERA. That says it all. If the Mets had Moyer instead of Pedro this year, the race would be over.
J Platt, Hot Stove Philly – If you look at the span of an entire career, it’s Pedro, hands down. If you’re looking at this season, it’s Moyer. Pedro has struggled with injuries and the death of his father, while at 45, Moyer is having his best season since 2002. Entering today’s game he’s 12-7, but has had a streak of 14 straight games where he allowed three runs or less. Due to an inconsistent offense, he only managed 5 wins in those starts. Had the Phillies scored some runs, Moyer would be making a run at 20 wins.
