The Almanac's Take

One starter on the board today, so this is a short read. Foster Griffin draws Cincinnati in what projects as an unfavorable matchup, and the 4.5 projected innings underscore the limited ceiling here — 4.7 projected strikeouts over that workload isn't a line that generates much fantasy value. His 2.77 season ERA suggests he's been more functional than the projection implies, but medium confidence combined with a tough opponent keeps this firmly in wait-and-see territory. Thin slate, no flags — just not much to work with.
