Under the Reg. Season Team Stats section what is the P_K number? Is that how many pitches to get a strikeout for the team or something like that?

I am going to guess that it is strikeouts by pitcher.

As in a total number of strikeouts for the team?

Probably, yes. It would make sense. Is there something that would indicate batter strike-outs? Something like B_K?

EDIT: I checked a sheet I have and there is a P_K and B_K column. I am going to guess that P_K is strikeouts by pitcher and B_K is the number of strikeouts made by batter.

Not that I saw. I'm in the middle of a game right now but I would check what the P_K number is for the next preview and see if it matches the total of my pitchers.

It is, indeed, total strikeouts by the team's pitching staff.

CHA-CHING.

I couldn't come up with a better title to indicate its for pitchers total strikeouts. I thought about "SO" or "K" but neither of those by themselves indicate whether its batters or pitchers.

Works for me, as long as I know what it represents. I've always like that game preview a lot and now that's gone one step further and added a game prediction I'm very happy. Now if only the predictions would be mirrored by reality....

What do the Runs Scored and Runs Against - By Inning values represent?

Note re RF/RA: By design this stat is "visitor/home" dependent. So, for example, if Padres are the visiting team, then their Runs For/Runs Against stat lines are going to show only Runs For/Runs Against "when they were the visiting team." Gotta love the way you can bend & twist those stats!

But what do they mean? Are they totals? I'm still early in the season so the numbers are a fairly low. If I'm the visitor and it says 3 runs for in inning 4 does that mean I've scored a total of 3 runs in inning 4 as a visitor or is it an average?

If I'm the visitor and it says 3 runs for in inning 4 ...

In your example it is Totals as a visiting team.

Here's an idea I had, though I don't know if it makes any sense or if there would be any support for it. This thought came based on the concept that the Runs For/Against Per Inning changes based on whether you are home or visitor. Would there be any consideration to making the hitter information relative to the pitching hand of the designated opposing starter, i.e. avg. would be against lefties for a left handed starter, etc. Or maybe even add this as a separate line below the regular info for each hitter?
