With fWAR's reliance on xFIP, I would be surprised if fWAR is not showing an even bigger difference. (Although anything is possible -- there's a reason fangraphs is not my first stop for info.)
July 29, 20215 yr I think Sherzer is better....but Berrios is cheaper AND signed thru next year....that's a big delta for a team giving up good to great prospects (which teams seem very reticent to do anymore). But, if I'm going for it, I want Max more. If I'm more aiming for the next two years, I want Jose more.

Depends. If I was already on pace for 100 wins and just want to get the ring, I'd go with Scherzer for sure. If I want to solidify my rotation for the year and upgrade the back of my rotation for a couple of years, Berrios is a nice option.
