Yes, it is impressive and meaningful that the Tigers and Phillies are a combined 19-1 in their horses last 10 starts.

Team wins are meaningless in determining whether a pitcher pitched well or not. I don't see any other way around that. Verlander went eight innings and gave up one ER two weeks ago and lost because Dan Haren went nine innings and gave up zero. Does that mean Verlander didn't pitch well in that start? Of course not.
