their stats are incredibly similar. is 1.7 career WAR statistically significant? kershaw has a much better ERA. both have 2 WS, 3 cy, 1 league MV.
i assume verlander has a higher WAR just because he played 3 more seasons

Good question. I was going to say Kershaw off the top of my head, but looking at it more closely, I’d give the edge to Verlander. Keeshaw’s ratio stats are better across the board, but Verlander’s pitched 700 more innings. Ultimately he was more valuable because he stayed in one piece most seasons.
Comparing postseasons:
Verlander: 17-12, 3.58
Kershaw: 13-13, 4.49
Edit:
As an aside, if you had to pick one to give the ball to in a Game 7, it easily would be Verlander. Kershaw consistently sucked in big games.

yes, but this is very different than the op, i.e., "better career"
u might want to give the game 7 ball to andy pettite over a lot of guys in the hall

is it fair to say verlander had a slightly better career due to consistency/longevity, but peak kershaw might have been slightly more dominant, and that verlander was a better postseason pitcher?
