Two-game Sunday slate, so options are limited. Skenes against Miami is the clear top arm — he's projected for 6.2 IP, 6.4 Ks, and just 1.6 ER against a matchup graded elite, which makes him the straightforward anchor here. Abbott draws Arizona, an unfavorable matchup, and the projections reflect it: 4.5 IP, 4.4 Ks, 2.4 ER at medium confidence. Both carry medium confidence flags with no workload or velocity concerns noted. On a two-game board this thin, Skenes is essentially the whole conversation; Abbott is a distant fallback if roster construction forces you there.
