Brewers 6, Phillies 2

The same pitcher led his team in wins and losses in the same year 76 times, or 28.1% of the time. Forty-six of those 76 instances saw ties with other pitchers (either in wins, losses, or both). Four teams had two pitchers with same record lead in wins and losses. Twelve pitchers did it more than once, but only one did it three times: Ben Sheets, in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Texas saw it most often (six times), with Milwaukee and the LA Dodgers (five times each) tied for second.

Number of teams by year:
2000: 11
2001: 7
2002: 11
2003: 6
2004: 9
2005: 10
2006: 9
2007: 7
2008: 6

Thirty-eight teams had winning percentages above .500, thirty-eight were .500 or worse. The best teams were the 2002 Braves (101-59) and 2004 Yankees (101-61). The worst was the 2003 Tigers (43-119). The 2002 Brewers, 2002 Tigers, 2004 Royals, and 2006 Royals also lost 100 or more games.

Fifty of the pitchers were above .500, thirty were .500 or worse. The best pitcher record by winning percentage was 17-8 (Randy Johnson, 2005 NYY), the worst was 9-21 (Mike Maroth, 9-21). The most wins by a pitcher on the list was 20 (Roy Oswalt, 2004 & 2005 HOU, and Roy Halladay, 2008 TOR), the fewest was 8 (Steve Sparks, 2002 DET). The most losses was 21 (Maroth), the fewest 8 (Johnson & three others). The fewest decisions needed to lead a team in both categories was 18, by Darrell May (10-8) of the 2003 Royals.

If Randy Wolf manages to lead the Brewers in wins and losses this season, it will be the second time he has done so for a team (he was 11-9 for the 2000 Phillies).
