More on Blyleven

I used excel and created a W/L ratio which lumps "luck" into 1 number and created a graph. I think it might give readers a better picture of where Blyleven stands. In the graph it's interesting to note that if you look at the 1.2 and .8 data points, it's easier to be lucky than unlucky making Blyleven even more impressive. Morris is added to show that he is lucky, but not to an extreme like Blyleven is unlucky.

Mark took the data in this post and divided the Win Ratio by the Loss Ratio. The lower the number, the unluckier the pitcher.

Here's the graph. Click for a larger version:
