ERA title also requires 162 IP just like in real life, just in case Pedro pitches a gem against the Expos and then blows out his shoulder in April. I don't want loopholes here
I'll take that bet. Do you want to use ERA or ERA+?
Also, if either pitcher blows out his arm before the 162 limit, the bet should be void. The injury's not our fault.
ERA would be fine. What's ERA+? Maybe I know what it is but just don't know the term. I assume the concept is obviously different than OPS+.

What do you want the stakes to be? It can't be a Pedro or Sheets avatar, because I like Sheets and you don't dislike Pedro.
If DK wins Jackal has to sport the U.S.A. flag as his avatar, and vice versa.
