June 23, 2026 MLB Starting Pitchers

15 games · 29 starters · Updated Jun 23, 1:59 PM ET

The Almanac's Take

Projections are fully absent across all 29 starters today — no IP, K, or ER estimates loaded for anyone — so the grid is running on season ERA alone. With that caveat, Casey Mize's 2.58 ERA stands out as the cleanest number on the board facing New York, and Peter Lambert (3.23) and Shane McClanahan (3.33) are the next-cleanest marks. McClanahan draws Kansas City, whose Luinder Avila sits at a 5.50 ERA on the other side, making that the most lopsided ERA differential in a single game today. Treat everything here as directional until projections populate.
