RANK	PITCHER	OPP	COMMENTS
1	David Price	at BAL	With TOR: 1.89 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 through 2 IP on Saturday
2	Cole Hamels	DET, LAA	Ks have been sporadic with TEX, has outings of 2, 2, 3, 4 and 8, 8, 10, 12; results have been good over L8: 2.78 ERA, 1.22 WHIP
3	Chris Sale	KC	As long as he's not facing MIN
4	Chris Archer	TOR	Archer absolutely owned TOR until Saturday (5 ER thru 2 IP), I'm still starting him vs. them next weekend
5	Dallas Keuchel	at ARI	Rebounded brilliantly from all three of his awful starts this year: 9 IP/0 ER, 6 IP/2 ER, and 7.7 IP/1 ER
6	Carlos Carrasco	MIN	He's faced KC in 2 of his L3 and logged 24 Ks in 15 IP; he's an elite strikeout pitcher after these last two seasons
7	Danny Salazar	BOS
8	Felix Hernandez	OAK	He's got a 3.09 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 35 IP vs. OAK this year
9	Corey Kluber	MIN, BOS	Remarkably frustrating season for the reigning Cy Young winner can hopefully close strong
10	Justin Verlander	at TEX

10	Justin Verlander	at TEX
11	Marcus Stroman	at BAL, at TB	Looks incredible since returning from his torn ACL; Ks are light, but stuff looks excellent and his 60% GB rate covers a lot
12	Lance McCullers	at SEA, at ARI
13	Masahiro Tanaka	BOS, at BAL	Solid 2H for Tanaka: 3.18 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 21% K, 4% BB in 82 IP
14	Michael Pineda	BOS, at BAL	Allowed 5 ER in his return from the DL, but has allowed just 10 ER in his five starts since: 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in 28.7 IP
15	Johnny Cueto	at CHC, at MIN	Back-to-back 7 IP quality starts calms some of the fears; gets a chance to close big with a 2-start week
16	Garrett Richards	OAK
17	Collin McHugh	at ARI	In the 2H, he has nine starts of 1-2 ER and three of 5 ER; so there's risk, but the upside is worth it
18	Hisashi Iwakuma	OAK
19	Jake Odorizzi	TOR	2+ BB in five of his last six, uncharacteristic of him: 6% BB in first 21 starts, 9% BB in last 6 plus a 2.1 HR/9
20	Sonny Gray	at LAA
21	Jose Quintana	KC	Rebounding from his modest August (4.63 ERA) with a sparkling 1.00 ERA in 27 Sept. IP
22	Eduardo Rodriguez	at NYY
23	Ervin Santana	KC	Rolling of late: 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 39 Ks in 36 IP
24	Luis Severino	at BAL
25	Drew Smyly	MIA	Best part of his strong finish: 25% K rate
26	Erasmo Ramirez	MIA	Great opponent, espec. at home where he has a 2.39 ERA in 79 IP (4.90 ERA in 79 IP on road)
27	Mike Fiers	at SEA
28	Scott Kazmir	at SEA	Has been about a run worse than his 2.97 ERA with HOU (3.91 in 69 IP)
29	Carlos Rodon	DET	Dominating lately, but that doesn't mean he's without risk so be careful if you're tight in ERA/WHIP (1.81 ERA, 1.08 WHIP in 54.7 IP)
30	Kevin Gausman	TOR
31	Marco Estrada	at BAL, at TB
32	Rick Porcello	at NYY, at CLE
33	Rich Hill	at NYY	Three straight amazing outings with 10 Ks in each and just 3 ER in 23 IP; I'm starting him even at NYY
34	R.A. Dickey	at BAL
35	Andrew Heaney	at TEX	Quietly having a really sharp rookie season after an ugly 29.3 IP debut with MIA last year (3.30 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in 95.3 IP with LAA)
36	Derek Holland	LAA	I expected a much stronger finish, but he's allowed 17 ER in his L3 starts and four through four on Saturday
37	Kris Medlen	at CWS
38	Colby Lewis	DET, LAA	I'm not going to tell you there's no risk because I don't like lying, but he's been sharp over his last three
39	Kyle Gibson	at CLE, at KC	Maybe not the two-start you want this week: 4.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP in 87.3 IP on the road for Gibson this year
40	Tyler Duffey	at CLE	He's been excellent outside of his 2.7 IP/6 ER debut: 2.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 43 Ks in 43.7 IP
41	Edinson Volquez	at CWS
42	Yordano Ventura	at CHC, at MIN	A highly volatile option espec. with both on the road (5.04 ERA)
43	Cody Anderson	MIN, BOS
44	Hector Santiago	OAK, at TEX
45	Daniel Norris	at TEX, at CWS	DET easing him back with pitch counts, but he's allowed just 1 H in 8.7 IP since returning from the DL
46	Yovani Gallardo	DET	Substantial risk given the lack of upside; how badly do you need a 6 IP/0 ER? Enough to risk getting a 5 IP/5 ER?
47	Chris Tillman	TOR, NYY
48	Matt Moore	MIA, TOR	A great Hail Mary shot after two gems in a row with 16 Ks in 13.7 IP, but still tons of risk, espec. with TOR
49	Jeff Samardzija	KC

START

RANK	PITCHER	OPP	COMMENTS
1	Clayton Kershaw	at SF, SD	How perfect is it that he gets 2 starts to close the season?
2	Zack Greinke	at SF, SD	It's not hard to imagine a Dodger homer or even just a savvy player with both Kersh & Greinke; 4 starts in the final week is hot
3	Madison Bumgarner	LAD, COL	Transformed into postseason Bum in the 2H: 2.31 ERA, 0.88 WHIP in 93.7 IP after 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP in 119 IP during the 1H
4	Max Scherzer	at ATL, at NYM
5	Jake Arrieta	at MIL	The last time he threw fewer than 6 IP in a start: June 16; he has a 0.94 ERA in 134 IP since then
6	Stephen Strasburg	at ATL	Where ya at, Strasburg-haters? 2.24 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and 72 Ks in 52.3 IP since returning from the DL plus three straight 10+ K games
7	Jose Fernandez	at TB
8	Gerrit Cole	CIN
9	John Lackey	at ATL	Lackey, Garcia, and Zimm all got a boost as ATL is the best matchup an NL'er can get, right or left handed
10	Jaime Garcia	at ATL
11	Jordan Zimmermann	at ATL	Worst full season by ERA (3.68), but he's owned the hapless Braves all year (1.82 ERA in 34.7 IP)
12	Michael Wacha	at PIT
13	Jon Lester	at CIN
14	Tyson Ross	MIL	Currently the only other SP besides Arrieta to have 20+ starts with ZERO 5+ ER outings
15	Lance Lynn	at PIT, at ATL	A rocky September (6.11 ERA), but he went six scoreless last time out and I'm not turing down a 2-start that includes ATL
16	Patrick Corbin	COL
17	Julio Teheran	STL	Responded to the 8 ER Shellacking by NYY with a 1.67 ERA in 27 September IP incl. a solid outing vs. TOR
18	J.A. Happ	STL	This isn't just riding a hot hand who is doing it with smoke and mirrors, he has 28% K and 5% BB rates with PIT en route to a 2.28 ERA, 1.13 WHIP
19	Matt Harvey	WAS	Nervous about these baby Mets because these games could be irrelevant and limit all of them in preparation for the playoffs
20	Noah Syndergaard	WAS
21	Steven Matz	WAS
22	Jacob deGrom	none?	It looks like Sunday could be his last regular season start, but he could start in the WAS series; I'm putting him here just in case
23	Shelby Miller	STL
24	Carlos Martinez	at PIT
25	Francisco Liriano	CIN	September a microcosm of his recent uncertainty: 5 IP/4 ER, 6 IP/0 ER, 2.3 IP/4 ER, 7 IP/2 ER; still gotta start him
26	Anthony DeSclafani	CHC	Just when you start buying into the K surge (26% in 8 starts before his last two), he drops a pair of 3s on us; he struggled in both (7.59 ERA)
27	James Shields	at LAD	He hasn't been able to get beyond that high-3.00s, low-4.00s ERA band, but the Ks have remained strong (23% in 2H)
28	Brett Anderson	at SF
29	Adam Conley	at TB, at PHI	Has a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 26% K, and 9% BB in his L6 starts (33.3 IP); he has an 11% SwStr rate in that time, too
30	Jake Peavy	LAD, COL	He has a 2.19 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 24.7 IP this month; solid 3.59 ERA in 77.7 IP across the 2H

32	Aaron Nola	MIA	Dropped 8 scoreless on them last time he faced MIA
33	Andrew Cashner	at LAD

41	Jerad Eickhoff	NYM	Four of this last five are 7 IP quality starts incl. a 10-K effort at WAS
42	John Lamb	CHC	Finally finding some success to go with the Ks that have been there since he came up (26%)
43	Jason Hammel	at CIN	Still missing bats in the 2H (60 K in 58 IP), but averaging 4.8 IP/start and still allowed 3-4 runs regularly

45	Logan Verrett	at PHI
46	Jhoulys Chacin	HOU
47	Kyle Hendricks	at CIN, at MIL

48	Jarred Cosart	at TB	He's been solid since returning; not going deep into games so not your best bet if you're chasing Ws
49	Alex Wood	SD
50	Chris Heston	COL	Sputtering to the finish line: 4.60 ERA since the start of Aug., averaging just 4.8 IP/start
51	Jon Niese	at PHI	These are three Hail Mary options likely to be available and you can't get much better with the matchup (PHI almost as bad as ATL)
52	Tom Koehler	at PHI
53	Justin Nicolino	at PHI
54	Charlie Morton	STL
55	Zach Davies	at SD, CHC	Three good starts, two bad ones; getting two good ones here would mean four straight to close the season
56	Brandon Finnegan	at WAS, at PIT	If you're desperate and Ks are your big need since you could still get those even if the ratios are modest-to-poor
57	Tanner Roark	CIN, at NYM	If you're desperate and just hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with a couple good starts
58	Alec Asher	NYM
59	Jeremy Hellickson	HOU
60	Chase Anderson	COL	Nice 6 IP/1 ER with 1 H & 10 K start at LAD after a layoff, but can he do something similar again?
