Three starters today, and the slate is thin enough that Cam Schlittler is doing most of the heavy lifting. He projects for 6.4 Ks over 6.2 IP against Boston, and the arsenal matchup flag here is real — Red Sox hitters have genuine trouble with his pitch mix, which makes the 1.5 projected ER feel defensible rather than optimistic. His 1.89 ERA backs the high-confidence read. Aaron Nola draws the White Sox in a neutral matchup and projects 6.1 Ks over 5.6 IP, though a 5.55 season ERA introduces some noise against that projection. Tyler Gilbert faces Philly in an unfavorable spot with a 20.25 ERA — low confidence, skip it.
