DICE is an improvement on CERA that removes the contribution of the pitcher's defense, instead estimate a pitcher's ERA from the components of his pitching record that don't involve defense. These are home runs, walks, hit batters and strikeouts.

It is supposed to show you an estimate of what a pitchers ERA will be the following season based on the stats jwb stated. There is a whole formula. you can see it on wikipedia.

It is usually the stat furthest to the right on your roster page for the pitchers. Compiled stats page.

More technically, DICE is ( 3 * BB + 13 * HR - 2 * SO ) / IP + 3.00. Same as FIP (which you can find on Fangraphs or Baseball Reference) except it doesn't change based on the league run environment.
