I'd have to go with Matty and McGinnity. From 03-06 they won 230 games, averaging 57 1/2 wins per season. Matty with three 30+ win seasons, Joe two. McGinnity led NL pitchers in WAR in 03 & 04, Matty in 01, 05, 07-10. In 03 McGinnity and Matty were the top 2 players in WAR at 11.3 and 10.2. Runner up Matty and Marquard. From 11-13 they won 147 games, averaging 49 wins per season.

For modern era, from 62-66 Koufax and Drysdale averaged 42 wins per year. Koufax was the best pitcher in baseball 3 times, Drysdale once. The fifth year, Dean Chance from the AL won the Cy Young and led pitchers in WAR. That season, Drysdale led NL pitchers in WAR, Koufax was second (2nd & 3rd in MLB).
