His ERA and his SIERA disagree by 0.72. The ERA is the harsh one — he has pitched better than his run prevention shows. SIERA is built from strikeouts, walks and contact, so it settles far faster than ERA does.

Against left-handed and right-handed batters

His strikeout rate moves by 9.8 points between the two sides — he misses far more bats against left-handed batters. His xFIP moves by 1.77 depending on which side the batter stands. A gap this size changes the read of a start.
