LEGEND
Anchor Arms - General consensus is they are going to dominate the matchup.
Send it Guys - Expect a solid performance. Thanks to either a favorable matchup or just a hot hand.
Danger Zone - Could be an awesome start with a solid amount of upside, but it’s not a comfortable matchup.
Desperation Station - A super unfavorable matchup, but you are desperate for points, so you start them anyway.
Hard Pass - Dudes I don’t have any interest in starting.
DISCLAIMER - Starters are subject to change; we use the best information available to project who will be starting on a given day.
Thursday September 3rd
ANCHOR ARMS
Tarik Skubal vs St. Louis
Logan Henderson vs CHC
SEND IT GUYS
Hunter Brown vs CWS - Still walking a lot of guys, but the command has gotten much better.
Kevin Gausman vs Milwaukee
Jake Bennett @ Baltimore - Hard to predict what Baltimore bats will do. Jakers sporting a 19% K-BB% in August is a good sign.
Jose Soriano @ Cleveland
DANGER ZONE
JT Ginn @ Seattle - Meh, projections like it, but he’s been MID. Seattle bats aren’t great.
Shane McClanahan @ Texas
Kade Anderson vs Athletics - Another dream home spot against the Road A’s.
Sandy Alcantara @ Kansas City
Michael Wacha vs Miami - He’s been great lately.
DESPERATION STATION
Quinn Mathews @ LAD - Double digit whiffs in all four of his starts. Solid K upside.
Tanner Bibee vs Toronto
Luis Castillo @ Houston - Not throwing enough strikes.
Brandon Young vs Boston
Cal Quantrill vs Tampa Bay - He’s been money in August?????
HARD PASS
Blade Tidwell @ Pittsburgh
Carmen Mlodzinski vs San Francisco
Slug fest in Pitt? Probably not since they had one last night.
Paywall!! Sign up today to get the rest of the weekend!
