If so, I'm as confused as you are. I know the higher IP helps Pitcher A's WAR, but B's WAR should be a lot higher than 3. I don't mean to state the obvious, but are you sure you read it right?

Yes to same league and level of competition and yes I'm 100% positive that I read them right.
I have another example too. Player B is the same in this one as in the original post. As I'm sure you'll notice, Player A, in just 36 more innings pitched than Player B, has 1 less Win, 6 more losses, 85 more hits allowed, 65 more runs allowed, 72 more earned runs allowed, 85 more walks, 2 less strikeouts, an ERA pushing 2 runs higher, an opponents batting average that's 45 points higher, a BABIP that's 36 points higher, a significantly higher WHIP, a significantly lower ERA+, more BB per 9 and less strikeouts per 9.
Player A's WAR is 3.1
Player B's WAR is 3.0
