Hudson is a buy — his expected ERA is 1.25 runs better than league.

His expected ERA is 2.85, 1.25 runs below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced 253 batters — past the 200 threshold where that number becomes reliable. The skill underneath is doing the work, not luck. He allows a 3.4% barrel rate against a league average of 8.0%, and his xwOBA allowed is .263 versus .315 league, both on samples big enough to trust. His walk rate of 6.7% is better than the 8.0% league mark. He does not miss bats at an elite rate — 22.5% strikeouts, right at league — so the run prevention comes from weak contact, not swing-and-miss. That contact suppression is what keeps the expected ERA down, and that expected ERA has been dropping. He is earning this. Buy. A 2.85 ERA and 1.27 WHIP make him a deep-league asset worth adding now, even with just 5 K.
