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.
