His xFIP of 3.69 and his xwOBA of .272 are more in line with what we should expect moving forward. He certainly seems like a guy who could outperform his xFIP by ~0.5 runs, but it's silly to think he will outperform it by 2-3 runs.

That's the legit #2/#3 SP we all expected him to be, and when he's going good folks will argue over semantics that he is a "TOR SP". We've seen Fried regress, and we will see Soroka regress as well.
I'd hope everyone realizes this is the case. haha He'll probably get torched in a start or two and his ERA will balloon (well, opposed to ONE...) and everyone will freak out (myself included) and everything will be fine when his next start is excellent again.
