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.
Bad fielding is far more than just errors. And the Tiger's fielding isn't bad its all time awful. But even without the fielding its still not close just because as I said the couple hundreths difference in ERA is more than made up by the 25+ innings pitched.
Its not close in any objective way

Other than the objective measures I posted: ERA, RA, K/9, BB/9, HR/9, and BB/K ratio. So it's close in every objective way, honestly.
