STATS CORNER

The Houston Astros made a splash at the trade deadline, acquiring righthander pitcher Zack Greinke from Arizona and adding him to a rotation that features Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole. How do the Dodgers’ top three pitchers — Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Walker Buehler — stack up against the top three of the Astros and the rest of the majors? We rank the top units by wins above replacement and then by earned-run average. Numbers are through Friday’s games.
