Unusually high ERA and WHIP?

Last season, I easily had the highest ERA and WHIP in my fantasy baseball league. This year looks no different, so far. Is there something I'm missing in order to just get an average ERA and WHIP? Here's my pitching staff:

Ricky Nolasco, Fla SP

Jake Peavy, CWS SP

Frank Francisco, Tex RP

Stephen Strasburg, Was SP

Yovani Gallardo, Mil SP

Josh Beckett, Bos SP

Ubaldo Jimenez, Col SP

Brian Wilson, SF RP

Trevor Hoffman, Mil RP

Andy Pettitte, NYY SP

My ERA so far is 5.049 and the WHIP is 1.537, which easily puts me last in my league in both categories.

    ERA's are going to be high in the first few games if your pitcher gives up a few runs. You can fix this by using more RP's instead of SP's in the lineup but you sacrifice K's for sure. Its just a pro and con deal.
