Yes, for pitchers WAR is a FIP-based WAR, and rWAR is a ra9-based WAR. Neither will 100% match what Fangraphs or B-ref put out, but they're intended to be similar.

So in the image at the top, Samardjiza 2017 had a good FIP, so his WAR rating is pretty good. But I'm guessing his ERA isn't great, and hence his rWAR being lower.
