FACTS/FLUKES: Nola, J. Abreu, Mountcastle, Soler, Kopech

Nola bounces back thanks to stellar skills... After Aaron Nola (RHP, PHI) posted the second-worst ERA of his career in 2021, his skills suggested that the poor performance was mostly bad luck, and that he was likely to rebound in 2022. And he did, posting the second-best ERA of his career on his way to $20 in rotisserie value. Do his skills suggest he's good for a repeat?
