Eovaldi is a hold — league average, nothing unstable pulling either way.

His expected ERA is 4.20, right at the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be reliable. His expected wOBA allowed, .316, matches league average almost exactly, and his hard-hit and barrel rates allowed are only slightly above league — this is a pitcher pitching to his level. The one metric moving in his favor is his walk rate at 5.8%, below the league average of 8.0%, but his xERA has been stepping up across the sample, so that edge is not enough to buy. There is no suppressed BABIP-against inflating his results and no luck story dragging them down. This is who he is right now. Hold. 13 K and a 4.17 ERA is deep-league-only volume — hold, but there's no upside here to chase.
