FACTS/FLUKES: Nola, Lamet, Hiura, d'Arnaud, Edman

Nola looking like an ace again ... Aaron Nola (RHP, PHI) had a disappointing 2019 season, one in which his ERA rose by a full run and a half from the previous year. He has returned to his dominant form in 2020, though, as he is 5th in K%-BB%, and has his ERA down to 2.74. Is this where expectations should be set going forward?
