It isnt always about the best stats. Wainwright has carried a team that has several players underperforming big time. Plus, his numbers are outstanding. Finally, a manager is always going to want to keep hiis own player happy. I have no issue with this at all and would have done the same exact thing. And.. everyone knows how much I love Kershaw.
Kershaw is a better pitcher obviously, but Wainwright is still great. I have no problem with wainwright over Kershaw for the start as Kershaw was hurt and has 5 less starts.
f**k you puig
