One starter on the board today, and it happens to be a clean one. Sale draws a favorable matchup against San Diego with a projected 6.6 Ks over 6.2 innings and just 1.6 projected earned runs — consistent with his 1.98 season ERA, which makes the projection feel grounded rather than optimistic. No workload or velocity flags attached, and confidence is marked high. Thin slate means there's no real comparison shopping here, but Sale's number stand on their own without needing context — if you're building around a pitcher today, the board gives you one option and it's a reasonable one.
