More losses and fewer wins. Lower WAR. Less strikeouts. Worse FIP. Please ... this isn't even hard.
Dickey won 20 games on a team with a losing record. Last time that happened was 1997 with Roger Clemens. And he won the Cy Young too. Dickey was the best pitcher in the NL this season. Period.
You're straight up wrong about the strikeouts. Kershaw has more and actually has a slight edge over Gio in K% (25.3 vs 25.2). He also possesses a much better BB% and ~20 more innings pitched. Pitching WAR is based on FIP so it's not surprising Gio has him beat there with a lower FIP but Kershaw has the better xFIP and SIERA and the difference is much greater.
As for Dickey, lol wins (though I do have him as my favorite).
