Our pitching has an 11.5 fWAR, 3.40 xERA, and a 3.53 FIP. Their pitching has a 7.6 fWAR, 3.73 xERA, and a 3.97 FIP. Brewers=better.
And your comment was "we can't compete with them"....These games, the teams' respective run differentials, and hitting/pitching stats suggest that we can definitely compete with them. Where is the basis for saying we can't compete with them?
