STARTING PITCHERS
(minimum 30 IP except in special circumstances)
-- RA = Run Average: earned AND unearned runs x 9 / IP
-- BR/IP = (H + BB + HBP) / IP. (Like WHIP but includes hit batters)
-- LERA = "Latent ERA," based on peripheral stats and team-adjusted hit rate on balls in play
-- LUCK = LERA - ERA, positive equals good luck, negative = bad. Assuming a pitcher will perform in the future as he has to date, his actual ERA should drift toward his LERA. That's an awfully big and sometimes dubious assumption, so don't put too much stock in LERA. It's just a nice way of converting a bunch of peripheral stats into a single number.
-- BAA = opponents' batting average
-- BABIP = opponents' batting average on balls in play
