Good concept. My issues:

using 3 decimal places when smaple size n=14. What is the std dev, about .5/sqrt(14)=.15?

Any reason to believe that World Series is significantly different than 'all playoffs'? Why would WS winners typically lsoe when having the better ERA, but have won the other playoff series?

Different leagues mean that ERA doesn't mean the same to the World Series teams.
