As you probably realize I have never played a single game of StarCraft in my life
I've never played SC but can answer a bit of this. In SC2 there are plenty of different maps to play on. Based on layouts they can slightly favor different races, as they have different units. So when he says 52% P map, he means that the Protoss race is a slight favorite to win on this map. Other maps are favored for the different races (Protoss/Zerg/Terran), so pay attention to which map they'll be playing on, and which race the player is known to play.
The worst matchup comes from both map and race picks. Say for example your team plays Zerg on a 53% Protoss map, and their team is playing Protoss for that specific matchup. Some races will be favored on a complete 50/50 map, I'm just not sure which beats which.
Again, I've never played SC before but that's the basics of what he meant. I'm also not sure which site he found out this information, but if you're interested in making picks too, he's mentioned
