1. What was the team ERA for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2008 World Series?

Explanation

The team ERA for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2008 World Series was 2.86. ERA stands for Earned Run Average, which is a statistic used in baseball to measure the average number of earned runs a pitcher allows over nine innings. A lower ERA indicates better pitching performance, as it means the team allowed fewer runs per game. Therefore, a team ERA of 2.86 suggests that the Phillies' pitching staff performed well in the World Series, allowing an average of 2.86 earned runs per game.
