So much for the

argument that since he’s pitching in the lowly AL West he must be facing lesser competition.

Link doesn’t work by the way.

Exactly

there is no link, thats why its posted as a list, I used baseball reference game logs and a excel/a pen to get these numbers.

I don't get how he's 6-4, but only has 5 wins. "(6 if you count SDP)" But then you say he's 7-5...

To be fair...

The Red Sox aren’t technically a playoff team but are pretty good, would make the playoffs in the AL West perhaps. 4 starts, 1-0, 3.96 ERA. It’s a mixed bag. Shockingly he hasn’t faced the Blue Jays. For the writers that care about wins: CC is 12-3 against teams with losing records. 8-4 against teams with winning records. That “other guy” is 2-5 against losing teams, 10-7 against winning teams.

True

but consider the following. If you throw in the next two best teams in the AL, the BoSox and the ChiSox (while including SDP). Then Felix has started 16 games with 120 IP (7.2/game) going 9-6 (only one ND?!) with a 2.325 ERA giving up 31 ER

Sabathia had 12 games for 79.2 IP (6.2/game), 5-3, with a 3.73 ERA giving up 33 runs.

Felix has pitched 40 more innings against these teams and given up 2 LESS runs.
Even if you go pound for pound (and divide ERA by pitchers weight) Felix still wins.
