His ERA and his SIERA disagree by 1.59. 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 9.2 points between the two sides — he misses far more bats against right-handed batters. His xFIP barely moves (0.85), because his walk rate rises on the same side he strikes more out — which is exactly why the estimator alone hides this. A gap this size changes the read of a start.

xFIP rather than SIERA by hand: FanGraphs does not publish SIERA in its splits. The two describe the same thing and correlate at about 0.95.
