The Abacus Starting Pitcher Index tries to compare the outcomes of a starter's slate of games with the performance of the team as a whole. (The calculation is shown at the bottom.)
Scores are provided for all pitchers with a minimum of 20 starts (* = fewer than 25 starts).

*Abacus Starting Pitcher Index
Example A: 33 starts -- player (16-7, .696), team (21-12, .636); team overall (85-77, .525). So, the equation becomes: [(696 + 636) / 2] - 525 = 666 - 525 = +141.
Example
B: 32 starts -- player (10-14, .417), team (15-17, .469); team overall
(76-86, .469). The calculation this time: {(417 + 469) / 2} - 469 = 443 -
469 = -33.
