Folks just weren't starting 42 and 43 games a year in this era. I suspect the difference is that your schedule doesn't have the amount of double headers that RL had. The complete games are high as well, as are the IP.
Might need some adjusting. There are reasons why no one other than Grove won 300 games between the Johnson/Alexander era and the Spahn/Wynn era.

I'm not sure if it is something I can really affect, unfortunately. The 4-man rotation is in effect, but the cpu is the one who decides who starts.

He went 12-20 with a 4.90 ERA in 1927 and then got some incredible talent bumps at the very end of the season. The A's traded him to New York in July of the next year & he slowly began to develop there. He was once a highly touted prospect (7th overall pick in 1920), but the A's had grown increasingly frustrated with him. In New York, the tables turned. Perhaps it was his new pitching coach who fine-tuned his mechanics. Whatever it was, he lost 22 games in his first full season with the Yankees (1929) and then won 26 games in 1930 on his way to 5 20-win seasons in 6 years.
