  1. pitcher B


  2. Pitcher B has the better percentage

  3. Is there a trick to this?  A has won 11 of 15 games or 73.3% while B has won 10 of 13 games or 76.9%.  A has slightly more experience, but I'd probably take pitcher B on my team especially if team B has won against team A.

  4. Pitcher B with a 77% wining percentage compare to pitcher A with a 73%

  5. Pitcher B = 10/13 wins = 76.9%

    Pitcher A = 11/15 wins = 73.3%

  6. 10-3 record is about a 77%

    11-4 is about 73%

    I wished they pitched for the Dodgers

  7. more likely B he has lost less therefore he will have the best WINNING percentage

    and this is comeing from a 7th grader with a 4.0 gpa
