June 22, 2026 MLB Starting Pitchers

13 games · 24 starters · Updated Jun 22, 3:13 PM ET

The Almanac's Take

Projections are null across all 24 starters, so the grid is running on season ERA alone — treat every read here as context, not a model output. That said, Hunter Brown's 1.10 ERA against Toronto is the number that jumps off the page, and Dylan Cease at 2.71 facing Houston gives you two potentially sharp arms in the same interleague matchup block. Gerrit Cole (2.57 ERA) is the other name worth tracking against Detroit, where Framber Valdez sits at 4.09 on the other side. Kodai Senga's 9.00 ERA is a flag in the other direction. Confidence scores are unavailable; use accordingly.
