Historical does not have the third time through the order penalty (except in recent years), so I would guess this is less of an issue there than in other modes.
I also suspect it's possible this is the least close in a current 2023 game using the roster set, as you have the double challenge there of making sure to correctly balance the ZIPS ratings (and any edits) between SP's and RP's which would already have the third-time through the order penalty baked in (though we do adjust for that on the initial import), and then the actual third-time through the order penalty itself as applied in-game.

Not sure if it helps much, but I did sim a fictional season based on 2022 MLB and the starter ERA was 3.90 and the reliever ERA was 3.71, so much closer.
