Again, not really sure what you are talking about.
bWAR deGrom 10.0 Scherzer 9.5
fWAR deGrom 8.8 Scherzer 7.2.
deGrom led all MLB pitchers in WAR.

Unfortunately I have to quote you "AGAIN, not really sure what you are talking about":

http://www.espn.com/mlb/war/leaders

Nola 10.5
DeGrom 9.6
Scherzer 8.8 but is not even in the final 3


At some point maybe you will realize that WAR is not the be all, end all measurement of who is a better baseball player ....it is merely an approximation of value to a player's team and IMO, at times insanely inconsistent/irrelevant.

You are the first person that I have ever seen that uses ESPN for WAR. The 2 sites who have been doing it for years have deGrom as the best pitcher in baseball.

Really? From your favorite site

The Mets' Jacob deGrom, Washington's Max Scherzer and Philadelphia's Aaron Nola are the top three for the NL Cy Young Award, with deGrom favored to win for the first time despite a 10-9 record.
