MLB Starting Pitching ERAs

[Tanko]

We're 3 months into the season so starting pitchers have had a few games.
I like to see which teams have the "best" starting rotation.

Data set:
- Limited to starters on each team with 5 or more starts.
- Only the top 5 starters for each team used to find Avg ERA for the team.
- Listed by Avg ERA. WHIP, K/BB are also good measures but I stuck with the standard ERA measure.

There are a few players coming up from the minors that are pitching well for many teams but only those with 5 or more starts were included. Also, some really good players may be returning (i.e. Ohtani) but not included due to min start requirement.

I was initially surprised by TEX at #2. How can they be pitching so well (they are #7 in relief pitching) yet middle of the pack in wins.....

Then I remembered they were not good at the plate. They fired their hitting coach.

Has PHI always been leading on this one, or only for this year?

This is true. Pitching at Coors field adds more pain to their misery.
