Another factor that is missing in the attempt to preserve anonymity, is what team these players worked for. If a player pitched in a hitters' park like Coors Field, then naturally their ERA would be higher; conversely if a pitcher played in Petco, it would be much lower. Also, the second screenshot, showing H/A splits, sways me more in favor of pitcher 3; pitcher 2 didn't seem to be able to take his game on the road.
Player 2 played for the Seattle Mariners (controlled by me) and Player 3 played for the Angels.

Side Note my Mariners went on to win the World Series this year.
