I decided to procrastinate and look for teams. By baseball-reference.com numbers there are a few teams above an ERA+ of 130 since WWII. I found the following:
2002 Braves ERA+ = 133
1997 Braves ERA+ = 131 plus the '93, '96, and '98 teams all equaled or exceeded the 125 mark.
1954 Indians ERA+ = 134
1954 Giants ERA+ = 132
The WWII Cardinals were around 130 for multiple years, but that was against substandard competition.
So ERA+ > 125 is obviously excellent, but not historic. So Matt, would you say the Braves had stronger pitching or defense during there run for '93 to '02?
