Average innings pitched per team's starting pitchers

Ken Davidoff's Baseball Insider posted statistics about the average innings pitched per team's starting pitchers.

I called the great Bob Waterman from Elias Sports Bureau to get the info. Through Thursday's actions, here are the leaders and trailers in this category (average innings pitched per team's starting pitchers), with our local two included.

1. Angels 6.15 (Joe Saunders, pictured above, is second in the majors with 20.2 innings pitched in three starts).
2. Mariners 6.10
3. Marlins 6.04
4. (tie) Royals, Pirates, Cardinals, Rays, Blue Jays 6.0

18. Yankees 5.60 (that'll go down, after Joba Chamberlain's outing today).

21. Mets 5.52

26. Astros 4.96
27. Indians 4.87 (this will go up slightly, as Anthony Reyes pitched five innings today and left).
28. Giants 4.85
29. Nationals 4.67
30. Orioles 4.59

The major-league average is 5.60. The American League average is 5.69, and the National League average is 5.51. So the Yankees are below avearge for their league and were even with the big-league average before today, while the Mets are a tick above average for their league and below average for the majors.
