Holy crap, what a brutal board. There are some intriguing arms outside of the 3 x-ers but they almost all have a rough matchup. I know the opponents Ortiz and Morton are facing haven’t been strong of late, but they still scare me enough to be leery with either of them. I was impressed that Ortiz stemmed the tide after a 5 ER first inning to still go 5.3 IP with 6 ER. Still a bad outing, but those extra innings are so key in blowups. Outside of Ortiz, that group of 1 x-ers are straight up WHIP killers and you have to start being very mindful of your ratios as we enter the home stretch.
I have my chat at 2pm ET on Wednesday if you have any questions. Pretty deep board today and as such, I’m probably staying away from the 1-x’s in most cases, but I realize options are tight in many leagues and all three have had runs of success this year.
Wednesday morning updates:
One of the downsides of posting is early is missing changes or in this case, some updated doubleheader information.
I completely forgot the 2-start chart this morning. I’m sorry about that! As for the remaining 2-steppers who are going today, their ranking on the board is indicative of how I feel for the whole week.
David Festa with a third straight solid start since returning. He should be rostered everywhere right now.
I’ll run a 2-start chart in the morning.
Jeff, Lucas, and I put together our thoughts on the fallout from the Trade Deadline:
Lucas and I are splitting up the pitchers from the Trade Deadline with a rundown of upgrades, downgrades, and neutral moves. We will have that up no later than Thursday and you can read Jeff Zimmerman’s rundown on hitters here.

I’ll have a little rundown of all the SPs moved at the deadline tomorrow and see if there’s anybody who will benefit from vacated spots, too.
With the Trade Deadline coming tomorrow, everythinggg on this week’s board is in flux so stay tuned to the news before making your roster decisions.
I’ll do a separate 2-start chart tomorrow morning, so stay tuned for that! If you have any questions about these guys, let me know. I’ll do a full comment rundown for Tuesday’s slate.
