[kylntajw] Summing partial wins for pitchers

Given a won baseball game, divide the win among all the pitchers on the winning side in proportion to the number of innings (or portion of an inning) pitched.  This allows relief pitchers to be compared with starting pitchers.  Who has the largest sum of partial wins?

Of course this is a little unfair because a pitcher might have done a terrible job but the team still won.

Denominator might not be 27 because of extra-inning games.
