Gusto is a sell — his expected ERA says the skill isn't there.

His expected ERA is 4.69, which is .59 above the league average of 4.10, and his sample of 322 batters faced is past the point where that number becomes reliable. There is no luck story to blame it on. His expected wOBA allowed is .332, against a league average of .315, so batted balls are being hit hard against him — a 43.3% hard-hit rate allowed and an 8.6% barrel rate allowed, both above league. He does not miss bats at a league rate: a 19.3% strikeout rate, below the 22% average. His walk rate is fine at 6.8%, but that is the only clean number here, and his expected ERA has been stepping up across the sample. The profile is what it is. Sell. 7 K and a 4.34 ERA ROS is waiver-wire filler — cut him and stream the spot.
