From espn.com's stats glossary:
Quote:
Save Percentage
Saves (SV) divided by Save Opportunities (OP).
Save opportunities
When a pitcher 1) enters the game with a lead of three or fewer runs and pitches at least one inning, 2) enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, or 3) pitches three or more innings with a lead and is credited with a save by the official scorer
|
In summary:
1. The game should be awarding save opportunities when a pitcher gets a 3-inning save.
2. The Sv/SvOpp formula used by the game is correct.
