Unlucky so far. Better days ahead.

1.1σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.364
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.325

Banda’s wOBA-against sits at 0.364, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.325 — a gap of 0.039, 1.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 36 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
