Springs is a sell — his skill is below league with no luck excuse.

His expected ERA is 4.82, .72 above the league average of 4.1, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be trusted. Nothing in his profile says the surface is being dragged down by bad luck — he strikes out just 18.2% of batters, below the 22% league mark, and walks 9.1%, above league. Those are the two most persistent numbers a pitcher has. He also gives up more hard contact than most: a .336 expected wOBA allowed against a .315 league average, and a barrel rate slightly above league. His expected ERA has stepped up across the sample, so the skill is moving the wrong way. Sell. A 12 K / 4.57 ERA line is waiver-wire filler, so make Springs a streaming-only drop before the deadline.
