ETA and dont tell me pitchers WAR (particularly Fangraphs) a statistic that can have Jeff Samardjiza more valuable this season than Gio Gonzalez or has enough variability from calculators that can have Gio Gonzalez the 3rd most valuble SP vs 23rd is an unreliable statistic


Even if you use runs allowed instead of FIP, Sale is leading the majors in fWAR comfortably. That said, I don’t think WAR is perfect to the decimal, especially comparing position players to pitchers. Altuve is a perfectly reasonable choice. But so is Chris Sale.

Using Runs allowed Scherzer's WAR is higher. In fact Scherzer's WAR is higher by a wider margin than Sale's is to Kluber's.
