Grammar usage notes
if you think of はず as a general expectation of something, then its easier to think of this grammar as "there is no expectation of..."
彼は来るはずがない。- There is no expectation that he will come. (he might come, but we don't expect it)
this is not to be confused with ないはずだ which means "the general expectation is that... is not"
彼は来ないはずだ。- it's expected that he won't come (we expect that he wont come, but possible that he will come)

Comparing はずがない vs わけがない
はずがない and わけがない are similar in that they both express a strong denial of a possibility, similar to the English 'There's no way that (A)', but with slightly different nuances. はずがない gives the sense that the speaker is drawing a conclusion based on their own reasoning, often with a sense of surprise or disbelief. In contrast, わけがない expresses an even stronger denial, as if the impossibility is an obvious fact.
