The Almanac's Take

Thin slate today — one starter in the data, and the read on him is mixed at best. Foster Griffin draws Cincinnati, an unfavorable matchup, and the projection reflects it: 4.5 innings, 4.7 projected strikeouts, 2.1 projected earned runs. That's a short leash and modest upside, not a feature arm. His 3.76 season ERA is reasonable, but nothing in the projection suggests he beats the matchup. Confidence is flagged medium across the board, so treat these numbers as a rough floor rather than a tight target.
