There’s another Zack G. in the D-backs rotation, and while he’s not an ace like Zack Greinke his teammate, Zack Godley has been quite a welcome addition.
It’s a bitch (girl) how little you can rely on Rich Hill to pitch (girl).
Alex Wood has been an All-Star caliber performer for the Dodgers, putting it all together at age 26. Will he sustain his terrific start to 2017?
Corey Kluber is described as robot-like for several reasons, including his dependability. So start him twice. The same goes for Clayton Kershaw and Jon Lester.
Stephen Strasburg is the lone auto-starter of the week, but no one else should get any such vote of confidence. Be careful out there.
Carlos Martinez, Max Scherzer, Chris Archer and Justin Verlander (yes, even him)—your table is ready.
It’s a rough week in the NL, where no one with two scheduled outings is worthy of automatic, fore-sure, consecutive starts. Carlos Carrasco and Chris Sale, conversely, are ready to pitch two.
In the NL, Gerrit Cole gets the band back together, and Jon Lester remains steady if less spectacular than the 2016 version. In the junior circuit, Carlos Carrasco and Dallas Keuchel are must-plays.
Karns is striking out more and walking fewer than ever for the Royals. Is it time to pick him up?
You might be uncertain as to whom to start, but Dirty Harry, Zack Morris, Pete Campbell and Slim Shady know.
Julio Teheran and Kevin Gausman have been disappointing in 2017. Rather than waiting for a rebound, perhaps it’s time to cut bait on both for this season.
Jacob deGrom, Carlos Martinez and Max Scherzer qualify as must-starts in the NL, with Carlos Carrasco Justin Verlander joining them in AL. Conversely, do everything you can to sit AJ. Griffin and Wily Peralta.
Noah Syndergaard is an auto-start (unless he’s not). So it’s going to be one of those kind of weeks.
Amir Garrett steps forward, Matt Cain moves back on the radar, and welcome back, Dallas Keuchel! (And maybe King Felix, too.)
