[curious]

When two pitchers face each other who both have a WHIP < 1 the UNDER is 53-3 this year.

Atlanta Jurjens .95 WHIP

both have a WHIP < 1 last 5 games

The UNDER is 253 and 36 when pitchers with a combined WHIP of 2.2 face each other:
Toronto Rasputin (I know, but you try spelling his name) 1.3 WHIP
Seattle Washburn .76 WHIP

Philly Hamels 1.1 WHIP
Arizona Haren .9 WHIP

I run queries at www.sportsdatabase.com

A theory I have been researching. Handicapping teams using WHIP as a filter.

I had no idea that results are so lopsided based on WHIP. Here is one that will blow your mind. When one pitcher's WHIP is .5 or more less than the opponent pitcher the lower WHIP pitcher's team is 298-73. Say what?

And when the difference is .9 the win/loss record goes to 185-30. Imagine going 6-1 every day.
