Morán is a buy — his expected ERA is dropping and the strikeouts back it up.

His expected ERA is 3.47, 0.63 below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be reliable. The trajectory matters here: his xERA has stepped down across the sample, so this is not a spike he has to hold onto. The strikeout rate tells the same story — 26.1% of batters, nearly four points above league — and his 14.5% swinging-strike rate sits well above the 11% league mark on a sample that has cleared the bar. The one flag is a walk rate of 12%, over three points above league and stable. That caps the ceiling but does not undercut the run prevention; the contact suppression is real and his hard-hit rate allowed of 29.6% against a 40% league average says opposing hitters are not squaring him up. Buy. Deep-league streamer only: 7 K, 3.47 ERA, 1.33 WHIP won't move a shallow roster — add him where strikeouts are scarce.
