How this was built
- Timeframes are game counts, not dates. "Last 30" means each team's own last 30 games, aggregated from its game logs. Season totals reconcile exactly with MLB's published team lines (Houston 1,437.0 IP / 711 ER; Chicago 1,440.2 IP / 660 ER).
- Venue toggle switches Houston to home games only and Chicago to road games only — the actual conditions of this series. Each team played 81 of each, so Last 90 and Last 120 both cap at 81 games and read identically to the full-season venue split.
- Starters vs bullpen is derived per game: the pitcher credited with the start carries the starters' line, and the bullpen is the remainder of the team's line. Houston's season starter total lands exactly on MLB's official split (774.2 IP, 4.81). Chicago's runs 0.03 higher than MLB's published 4.60 because one game had two pitchers credited with a start.
- Ranks are MLB 1–30, recomputed across all 30 teams for the same window and venue filter on screen. The four grouped-ERA rows (all starters, top 3, bullpen, back end) carry no rank, since those groupings don't exist league-wide.
- Bar length shows the size of the gap as a share of the two values, not the raw difference, so rate stats and counting stats stay readable on the same scale. The numbers are the record; the bar is the read.
