Four starters on the board today, and Lambert is the clear top arm despite a low-confidence tag. He projects for 7.3 Ks over 6.2 IP against Cleveland with a 1.6 projected ER, and Progressive Field suppressing run scoring by 9% only sweetens that line — the confidence flag is worth noting but doesn't meaningfully undercut the matchup. Junk draws a favorable card against St. Louis in a dome setting and projects 5.5 Ks over 5.6 IP, though a 4.8 season ERA keeps the ceiling honest. Leahy and Williamson both carry unfavorable matchups and project under 4.0 IP — thin starting options.
