Well rating usually ties into that a bit.

It goes against everything SCEA has said in the past about how they do ratings. Its three years with the last season weighing more than the previous two season, but those numbers counting too. So while I think its "too high" based on past statements, at the end of the day its a video game and I can change it if I want.

He along with Felix Hernandez were by far the best 2 pitchers in the AL last year and Kluber edged out Hernandez in a number of statistical categories.

Chris Sale was equal or better than the two of them in everything except for IP. So the "by far the best 2 pitchers" is a bit much.

Higher ERA than Hernandez, higher HR/9 than both, higher BB/9 than both, higher FIP than both and a lower WAR. But the WAR is because of less starts so thats not really fair.

Sale also missed a whole month - month and a half. You can't miss that much time and be considered for a CY Young/MVP Award unless you have astronomical numbers.

" Is that really fair to the supposed “best” pitcher in the American League?" LMAO!
