lol...wait a minute

your telling me whip isnt a MAJOR factor in how you cap games? You can catch vegas slipping with the whip stats as they dont always go as deep into it as they probably should...bet alot of the linesmakers are so busy they dont even look at whip when making lines

WHIP is important , its just happens to be widely used, and has been for years

in other words its a public stat and built into the line already

look into xFIP, FIP and xERA
