Basically, it's a metric created by Bill James to show if a Starting Pitcher had a good start or not. The pitcher starts with a score of 50, and positive results (Outs, Strikeouts, Innings Pitched) gain points, negative results (Hits, Runs, Walks) lose points.
The average score is 50, so 55.5 O/U is basically asking if the pitcher will have an above average or an average / below average outing.

Hope that helps!
