Sabrowski is a buy — earned run prevention, no luck involved.

His expected ERA is 2.62, a run and a half below the league average of 4.10, and his sample of 203 batters faced is past the point where that number becomes reliable. Nothing unstable is propping up the profile: his BABIP-against sits near league average, so there is no suppressed-hit luck to give back. The skill metrics back it up. He strikes out 37.4% of batters against a league average of 22.0%, and he swings them past the ball 14.2% of the time. His walk rate is elevated at 15.3%, the one real blemish, but it has not stopped him from suppressing contact. His xERA has stepped down as the season has gone along, and his fastball has ticked up to 94.1 mph. This is a pitcher whose results match his stuff. Buy. Deep-league asset: 0 K / 2.62 ERA / 1.32 WHIP is a ratio stabilizer, so acquire now and stream the strikeouts elsewhere.
