Sanchez is a buy — his expected ERA is real and dropping.

His xERA is 3.22, which is .88 below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be reliable. The strikeout and walk rates back it up: 27.5% strikeouts and 5.6% walks, both well better than league. Nothing on his line is being held up by luck. His xERA has been stepping down across the sample, so the run prevention is trending in the right direction. He is also running a swinging-strike rate of 16.3% and a chase rate of 36.7%, both well above league, and his fastball velocity is stepping up. There is no luck story here, just a pitcher whose skill is being reflected honestly. Buy. 16 K and a 3.22 ERA make him a deep-league asset worth adding now.
