What we are going to do in this case is to calculate the number of races allowed per inning.
We have then:
Randy pitched 3 innings and allowed 2 runs:
(2/3) = 0.666666667
Felix pitched 5 innings and allowed 4 runs:
(4/5) = 0.8
Johan pitched 7 innings and allowed 5 runs:
(5/7) = 0.714285714
Answer:
Randy has the lowest number of runs allowed per inning
