This number ranges from 3.1 to 6.2. The higher the number the tougher his opponents have been. SOO's most reliable use is for comparing pitchers on one's own staff. It helps us to understand whether a pitcher's performance has been affected by disproportionately easy or tough assignments. |

Because these numbers when projected over a 162 game season will represent roughly the highest and lowest team run production totals we'd expect to find in a league of distributed talent (6.2 * 162 = 1004 total runs, while 3.1 * 162 = 502 runs). |
