Two-starter All-Star slate, so context matters before anything else: these projections carry medium confidence against exhibition lineups that won't look anything like a regular opponent's. Cease is the cleaner side — 6.9 projected strikeouts over 6.2 innings with a favorable matchup tag and a 2.56 season ERA backing the reading. Sánchez projects 5.4 Ks across 5.0 innings, but the short-rest flag (three days) against an unfavorable matchup makes him a harder sell; 1.9 projected earned runs isn't alarming, but the workload situation is real. Thin slate — build expectations accordingly.
