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.

Monday September 7th

Joe Ryan @ Detroit - Coming off the IL potentially. Tiger’s offense isn’t great, so probably worth a shot.
Chase Burns @ LAD - He’s on an innings limit. I wouldn’t expect more than five innings at the most.
Logan Webb vs St. Louis
Eury Perez vs NYM - Last three starts haven’t been great. Might be running out of steam to end the season.
Trevor Rogers vs Cleveland
Joey Cantillo @ Baltimore - O’s offense has gone non-existent.

Emmett Sheehan vs Cincinnati - I guess it’s possible the Dodgers call him up for this start. His last three starts in AAA have been fantastic, according to the box scores.
Patrick Sandoval vs LAA
Jacob Lopez vs Toronto
Matthew Boyd @ Milwaukee - The Brew Crew just saw this guy in Wrigley last week. Three earned runs and three strikeouts.
Robert Gasser vs CHC - Same as Boyd. I would stay away since the Cubs can mash against LHP.
Troy Melton vs Minnesota

Jacob Misiorowski vs CHC - The Cubs got to him last week. I think he bounces back here at home.
Cam Schlittler vs Colorado - Road Rockies.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs Cincinnati

Reid Detmers @ Boston
Jake Bennett vs LAA
Sean Manaea @ Miami
Freddy Peralta @ Atlanta - He’s looked much better of late, but this is a tough matchup.

Drew Anderson vs Minnesota
Casey Mize vs Washington
Jose Soriano @ Athletics
Hayden Wesneski @ Philadelphia
Brandon Young vs Cleveland
Andrew Painter vs Houston
Nick Lodolo @ LAD - He projects decent. I don’t have any interest in starting him here.
Quinn Mathews @ San Francisco - He had solid strikeout stuff. Plus a good park to pitch in. The only worry is Raffy Devers swinging a flaming hot bat.

Sandy Alcantara vs NYM - Soto is back in the Mets lineup. Sandy hasn’t been great, just okay lately. I don’t trust it.
Tanner Bibee @ Baltimore
Sean Burke vs Pittsburgh - He’s been very bad these last few weeks.
Bubba Chandler @ CWS
Bryce Miller vs Texas
Michael Wacha vs Arizona - 10 K’s last time out, velo was a touch up as well. The DBacks will be a bit tougher to strikeout.
Dean Kremer @ Detroit
Corbin Burnes @ Kansas City - What could be his return from Tommy John surgery. I wouldn’t expect him to pitch deep into this one. We’ll keep an eye on his command in this one.
Landen Roupp vs St. Louis
David Peterson @ Milwaukee - Gave up six earnies in the same matchup last week.
Bryce Elder vs Tampa Bay

Max Fried vs Colorado - Awesome spot, just needs to be efficient to get deep into the game with his pitch cap.
Kevin Gausman @ Milwaukee
Jared Jones @ CWS - He was great last start against the Angels in an easy matchup. He ramped up his slider usage and cranked out nine punchies and 21 whiffs!
Ranger Suarez vs LAA
Cal Quantrill @ Seattle - I cannot belive I am doing this. The way he’s pitched the last month he deserves it!! He’s averaging 17 DK points his last eight starts.
Hunter Brown @ Philadelphia

Griffin Jax @ Atlanta - Interested to see how his second start off the IL will go.
Nolan McLean @ Miami - Walks are still an issue, I’d be a little weary here since he’s sporting a 13.5% K-BB%.
Kade Anderson vs Texas
Foster Griffin @ Baltimore - Probably a spot I’m going to go hit up in DFS. I went the game he pitched in Baltimore earlier this year when he was with the Nats and he shoveddddd. I want to put him higher, but lack of command recently scares me.
Zebby Matthews @ Detroit
Shane Baz vs Cleveland

Davis Martin vs Pittsburgh - His first start off the IL went pretty well. Didn’t give up a run, only had three K’s.
Andre Pallante @ San Francisco
Keider Montero vs Minnesota
Reynaldo Lopez vs Tampa Bay - Could make his return here off the IL. Had six punch outs over five innings last start in AAA.
Walker Buehler vs Washington
