0.2σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.306
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.297

Molina’s wOBA-against sits at 0.306, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.297 — a gap of 0.009, 0.2 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.
