Kyle Finnegan
Finnegan is a sell — the expected ERA says this is who he is
His expected ERA is 5.77, a run and two-thirds above the league average of 4.1, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be trusted. The velocity is genuinely good at 96.2 mph, but it is not buying him outs: he strikes out just 17.4% of batters against a 22% league average, and he walks 12.6% against 8%. That combination is the problem, not a cold stretch. His expected wOBA allowed is .362, and hitters are squaring him up for a 44.7% hard-hit rate. The expected ERA has been climbing across the sample rather than settling down, which points the same direction as everything else. No suppressed BABIP-against is holding the surface line down, so there is no correction coming in his favor. Sell. A 5.05 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with zero strikeouts is waiver bait — drop him before the counting stats sink your ratios.
