The Almanac's Take

Two starters on the board today, and Skenes against Miami is the clear top-of-slate arm. He's projected for 6.2 IP, 6.2 Ks, and 1.6 ER against a Marlins lineup that qualifies as an elite matchup — high confidence, no flags, and a 3.31 ERA season backdrop that supports the projection. Abbott draws the harder assignment: Arizona carries a .346 xwOBA against left-handed pitching, and his projected line reflects it — 4.5 IP, 3.8 Ks, 2.7 ER. With only two games on the slate, there's not much to navigate around; Skenes is the obvious anchor and Abbott is a situational fade.
