Misiorowski Holds a Pinned Needle in Milwaukee
The best staffs and arms in the game right now, by team ERA and our form score.
It's a pitching day, and the contenders are leaning on their arms. Milwaukee runs the rotation board, the Braves run the bullpen board, and one young Brewer is still untouchable.
Best rotation
Starting rotation ERA — starters only. Lower is better.
Milwaukee tops the starter-ERA ranking at 3.19, just ahead of the Dodgers (3.27) and Rays (3.29) — three of the league's best teams, all built on the mound. The Yankees (3.38) and Tigers (3.66) fill out the top five.

Best bullpens
Bullpen ERA — relievers only. Lower is better.
Atlanta owns the reliever-ERA board at 2.77, the clear standout, with the Yankees (3.18) and Red Sox (3.20) trailing. A deep Braves bullpen is doing quiet work even as the team slid in the power ranking.
