I don't know. Maybe that Price has a slightly lower ERA while Verlander has a slight advantage in strikeouts/9. Price has a lowe walk rate/9 and both have similar HR rates. Verlander's entire advntage in "value" stats is because Comerica is rated as a hitter's park, which I personally think is inaccurate. Comerica used to be an extreme pitcher's park, and now suddenly it's an above average hitter's park? Something is fishy with Comerica's park factors and I'm not going to rate Verlander higher solely because of park factors which have fluctuated wildly.
Forget park factor's then its still not close. The couple hundreths of a difference in ERA is more than made up for buy the 27 more innings Verlander has pitched. On top of that the Ray's fielding>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tiger's all time shitty fielding.

Let me get this straight, you think that two pitchers with near identical ERA's, K rates, BB rates, and HR rates are wildly different and totally incomparable because of 27 innings pitched?
Yeah, I'm not buying that. And the "bad fielding" argument actually helps Verlander given how many unearned runs he allowed. Imagine if we just had RA instead of ERA.
Verlander: 3.06
Price: 2.69
Verlander's already gotten a massive bonus for crappy defense. You want me to give him another one? Price is actually a lot better at run prevention.
