1 game · 2 starters · Updated Jul 14, 10:20 PM ET
Two-starter All-Star slate, so this is more context than edge. Cease is the cleaner side: 6.9 projected strikeouts over 6.2 innings against a favorable matchup, with a 2.56 season ERA backing the medium-confidence projection. Sánchez carries a short-rest flag (3 days), which caps his projected IP at 5.0 and holds his strikeout projection to 5.4 — workload ceiling is real here even with a 2.62 ERA on the year. His matchup grades unfavorable, which compounds the rest concern. With only two arms on the board and both at medium confidence, there isn't much to force.
