Looks like Kershaw may have given up a few key home runs in unlucky spots. His other underlying numbers seem fine. The other starters have high BABIP that will probably regress over time.

That said, having played about seven different seasons of baseball in OOTP with different teams, I get the feeling offense is inflated in the current version. I rarely, if ever, see a starting pitcher carry a sub 3.5 ERA over the course of a year. With the Tigers, Fulmer and Norris could not ever get under 4.0 over the course of a year; with both guys, their 2016 season was better than any year I saw in the five-plus years I GM'd the Tigers. And that's after building a much, much better infield and outfield defense behind them than they had in 2016.
