ERA

I am playing a career league starting in 1978, real player 50 man league with early entry. The league ERA through May is 3.87. Does that seem a little high? I have done this before and the ERA was much lower. Just curious.

In real life, the league ERA's at the end of the 1978 season were 3.76 in the AL and 3.57 in the NL, so its not really too far off the mark
