Their career stats are very comparable....Guidry was somewhat more effective in World Series play:
Guidry....Games = 368, W-L = 170-91, ERA = 3.29, World Series W-L = 5-2....WAR = 47.8
Koufax....Games = 397, W-L = 165-87, ERA = 2.76, World Series W-L = 4-3....WAR = 48.9

Ted- I do agree about Guidry being a great lefty. Wouldn't you agree that .60 in ERA difference is huge with that amount of work done by both? Also, can you elaborate on the strengths of the Dodgers line-up versus the Ynakees line-up during their careers? Thanks a lot....
