Two games on the board today, and Gore is the obvious focal point. He projects for 6.3 Ks over 6.2 innings against Cleveland with a 1.7 projected ER — high confidence, no flags, elite matchup grade. That combination is rare on a two-game slate and makes him the clear top arm. Kremer is the opposite: 74 days of extended rest flagged as a rust risk, a pitch-mix profile that favors the Chicago offense, and a low-confidence projection of 5.6 Ks and 2.7 ER in 5.1 innings. Thin slate — Gore or fade the night.
