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

His expected ERA is 3.65, .45 below the league average of 4.10, and his expected wOBA allowed is .295 against a league mark of .315 — both past the samples where those numbers become reliable. Nothing unstable is holding the line up. He is limiting hard contact to 30.6% of batted balls, nearly ten points below league, and that is the real skill with 180 balls in play behind it. His velocity is stepping up across the sample, now 94.1 mph, above league. The one caveat is his 9.7% walk rate, up from the 8.0% league average, and his swinging-strike rate sits below league too. But his expected ERA has been stepping down, which makes the profile stronger, not weaker. Buy. A 3.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP make him a deep-league asset — add now before the ratios climb out of reach.
