FACTS/FLUKES: Jon Gray, Bethancourt, Smeltzer, Dalbec, Cueto

Gray finally left Colorado, but it's been mixed results ... Jonathan Gray (RHP, TEX) only posted two positive R$ in 2017 and 2019 with an ERA south of 4.00. Outside of those two seasons, the xERA hinted at better ratios. In 2022, Gray has a 4.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 16% K-BB% in 52 innings. Will Gray continue to underperform his xERA?
