Edward Cabrera
Cabrera is a sell — the ERA is hiding true skill.
His expected ERA is 4.48, which is 0.38 above league average and his sample of 227 batters faced is past the stabilization point, so this is a reliable measure of his run-prevention skill. The xERA has been stepping up across the sample, which means the trend is worsening, not improving. The issue is his contact quality: he allows a 12.0% barrel rate and a .332 expected wOBA — both above league average — with plenty of batted balls to trust. His strikeout rate is a tick below league average and his walk rate is a tick above, leaving no elite skill to lean on. There is no luck story to hide behind; the BABIP is not in the data, but the xERA and xwOBA already strip that out. Sell. 103 K and a 4.35 ERA make him a deep-league streamer, not a hold.
