ERA is determined by the following calculation:
Multiply the number of earned runs by nine. Then divide by the number of innings pitched.
Example: If your staff gives up 15 earned runs in 50 innings, your staff ERA is 2.90. (15 x 9 = 145. 145/50 = 2.90)
A starter who has a high ERA for lots of innings will hurt your overall ERA more than a reliever who has the same high ERA for only a few innings
