Okay, but how was that record accomplished? What was the schedule like? Was it a divisionally weighted schedule and your club was in a division with weak opponents? If so, that'll pad your record quite nicely.
Again, take a look at your regular season record from that club and pick out at random several different 5 or 7 consecutive game stretches and then analyze the individual and team numbers from them. How do they compare to the season totals? Are they as dominant or do they show more variance?

Personally, if you asked me, I'd say he was due for a bad performance at some point; he can't pitch brilliantly in every game. It's just that he didn't falter until the playoffs, instead of encountering some bad games during the regular season.
What about those six losses you're two top starters had? What were those like?
