Schultz is a sell — the skill is below league and the data says so.

His expected ERA is 5.36 — 1.26 runs above the league average of 4.1 — and at 311 batters faced the number is past the point where it becomes reliable. His expected wOBA allowed is .351 against a league average of .315, so the contact he is giving up confirms the same thing the run-prevention number does. There is no luck story to lean on. His strikeout rate is 20.6%, slightly below league, and his walk rate is 10%, above it, so he is not missing bats enough to cover the hard contact. The xERA trajectory is stepping up across the sample, not settling. That is the direction, not a blip. Sell. 0 K and a 4.92 ERA ROS is a drop, streaming-only arm — fade the production before the whip follows.
