The Almanac's Take

One starter in the data today, so manage expectations accordingly. Slade Cecconi draws the Cardinals in an unfavorable matchup, and his 5.25 season ERA doesn't inspire confidence heading in — the projections reflect that caution, with 4.5 innings and 4.4 strikeouts expected alongside 2.2 projected earned runs. That strikeout rate is thin for roster construction purposes, and the IP projection suggests a relatively short outing. Medium confidence across the board here. With a single-game slate this sparse, the grid below is more reference than opportunity.
