ERA is the abbreviation for "Earned Run Average".
It's a statistic associated with pitchers only whereby their performance is measured by the following formula:
total # of earned runs allowed divided by total # of innings pitched; multiply by 9. The lower the average, the higher a pitcher is rated. Personally, I think whether they are a starting pitcher or a reliever also plays a little bit into rating their performance. Your much more likely to see a lower ERA on say a closer than you would a starter. Why? Less innings pitched. Plain and simple.

What constitutes a "save oppurtunity" in baseball?

ERA stands for Earned Run Average. It is a measurement of how many earned runs a pitcher would give up in nine innings, based on his performance so far.

(Earned runs are those runs that are not the result of errors.)

These days, an ERA under 4.00 is a good pitcher, under 3.00 is a very good pitcher, and under 2.00 is a great pitcher. Nobody will likely come close to the modern-era record holders for a season (Dutch Leonard, 0.96 in 1914) or a career (Ed Walsh, 1.82).
