僕とじゃ釣り合わないことぐらい

The sentence is cut off. It would depend on the context, but the unsaid, implied half of it should probably be something like わかってる。 or 知ってる。

The こと is a nominalizer. It functions like "that..." in English, as in:

「[sentence]+ ことを知っている。/ ことがわかっている。」
= "I know that +[sentence]."

くらい/ぐらい is a belittling suffix. (The particle くらい/ぐらい replaces the case particle を/が.) It can express how minimal, trivial, slight, weak, easy, etc. something is. For more on the usage of くらい/ぐらい and examples please refer to:

So your sentence means something like:

僕とじゃ釣り合わないことぐらい（わかってる。/知ってる。）
"I know very well that I'm not enough for (you/her/someone)."
"I'm well/fully aware that I'm not good enough for (you/her/someone)."

with a nuance that the fact is so obvious, easy to know, etc.

こと　Things

話したいことがある。　There's something I want to talk about. 頼みたいことがある。　There's something I want to you to do me a favor.

ぐらい　OR　くらい　As if 英語くらい話せて当然だ。　You should speak English. (disregard) それぐらいしか思いつきません。　I can only recall about that much.(disregard)

僕とじゃ釣り合わないことぐらい（すぐ分かる）　It is too obvious that I am not fit for you.
