The career starting streak for Paxton looks very favorable to Kershaw. His 2nd game he went 3.2 IP, 83 pitches giving up 4 ER. Paxton has yet to get yanked that early or give up that much. Took Kershaw 12 starts before he went 7 innings (0-3 record after that loss), Paxton did so in his 4th (3-0 record after that win). Paxton's 4 starts of 5 IP took Kershaw 6 startsto match. Paxton has 4 95 pitch starts which Kershaw didn't until 13 games in. Not saying he's better than Kershaw, just saying he shouldn't be available at all.
