Mets @ Yankees
At Yankee Stadium
RHP
0-0, 5.19 ERA, 8 SO
The Mets will continue the process of stretching out Gsellman as a starter in Saturday’s matinee. Gsellman threw 33 pitches and then 47 pitches in his first two starts. Taking the mound for the first time in 12 days, he should be good for around 60 this time out.
LHP
1-1, 4.05 ERA, 11 SO
Happ has pitched just twice in August, and is set to make his first start in 13 days. In his last outing, the veteran held the Red Sox to a solo homer over 5 2/3 innings, picking up the win in a 4-2 victory.

Twins @ Tigers
At Comerica Park
RHP
5-2, 3.12 ERA, 17 SO
The last time Dobnak pitched at Comerica Park, he clinched the AL Central title for the 2019 Twins. This time, he'll go for his sixth consecutive win, coming off another solid five-inning, two-run start.
LHP
1-4, 7.27 ERA, 39 SO
Boyd struck out 26 Twins over 19 innings in three starts last year, but allowed eight home runs, his most against any opponent. Half of those homers came from current Tigers Jonathan Schoop and C.J. Cron, but the other half came off Boyd’s fastball.

Makeup of 8/28 PPD
RHP

LHP
1-1, 6.75 ERA, 8 SO
Skubal could be in line for another short start after going 2 1/3 innings over 69 pitches on Sunday in Cleveland, but those pitches looked much better than in his debut. He struck out five Sunday and had hitters chasing well-located fastballs.

Guardians @ Cardinals
At Busch Stadium
RHP
2-3, 3.75 ERA, 45 SO
Carrasco is still searching for an answer to his recent troubles. Although his walks were down last time out, he turned in his shortest outing of the year, permitting four runs in 3 1/3 innings.
RHP
2-0, 1.93 ERA, 17 SO
Flaherty pitched five shutout innings against the Royals on Monday, allowing just one hit while striking out three. He extended to 64 pitches and will likely be able to go further against the Indians.

Braves @ Phillies
At Citizens Bank Park
RHP
1-2, 4.37 ERA, 24 SO
Tomlin will be making his third start since being moved out of the bullpen. The veteran allowed three homers over three innings against the Phillies on Sunday night in Atlanta.
RHP
2-1, 4.10 ERA, 37 SO
The good news is that Eflin has struck out 24 batters in 15 1/3 innings over his last three starts. The bad news is that he has allowed 11 earned runs for a 6.46 ERA in that span.

Royals @ White Sox
At Guaranteed Rate Field
RHP
1-3, 5.19 ERA, 31 SO
Finally, some variety for Singer, who faced the Twins in each of his past three starts and allowed nine runs across 14 2/3 innings. This will be the rookie's first look at the White Sox. He's had particular trouble against lefties, but the Sox lineup is predominantly right-handed.
RHP
4-2, 3.00 ERA, 27 SO
Cease pitched well enough to win against the Cubs on Sunday, eventually getting beat by Kyle Schwarber’s two-run home run in the sixth. Cease has a 4-1 mark with a 2.15 ERA over five August starts.

Athletics @ Astros
At Minute Maid Park
RHP
2-2, 3.72 ERA, 30 SO
Bassitt was the victim of rare poor defense by the A's infield in his last start, with two of his four runs allowed being unearned due to multiple errors in a loss to the Angels.
RHP
3-2, 5.06 ERA, 32 SO
Since allowing eight earned runs in 3 2/3 innings on Aug. 5 at Arizona, McCullers has gone 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. That includes seven scoreless innings Aug. 10 vs. the Giants.

Makeup of 8/28 PPD; Jackie Robinson Day
RHP
2-3, 6.06 ERA, 33 SO

RHP
2-0, 2.68 ERA, 35 SO
Greinke leads the team with a 2.29 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 35 1/3 innings, allowing nine earned runs with 26 hits and six walks. He's allowed four earned runs in 26 1/3 innings in last four starts.

Cubs @ Reds
At Great American Ball Park
RHP
6-1, 1.47 ERA, 52 SO
Darvish was masterful last time out, striking out 10, walking one and holding the White Sox to one run (via homer) in seven innings of a win. The righty went 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA in five starts vs. the Reds in 2019.
RHP
3-2, 2.13 ERA, 54 SO
Bauer gave up nearly as many hits (7) in his first loss on Monday vs. the Brewers as he had in his previous four starts (8). A pair of homers also hurt in a 4-2 loss.

Makeup of 7/30 PPD
RHP
3-2, 5.23 ERA, 24 SO

RHP
0-1, 2.66 ERA, 27 SO
Antone has averaged 12.1 strikeouts per nine innings in his rookie year as a swingman. He replaced Bauer in Monday's game and did not allow a run in two-thirds of an inning.

Rays @ Marlins
At Marlins Park
LHP
2-0, 1.74 ERA, 9 SO
Fleming will make the second start of his career. He won his Major League debut, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on four hits against the Blue Jays last Sunday.
RHP
3-2, 2.10 ERA, 32 SO
López's changeup has been his most effective pitch. He has thrown it 29.3 percent of the time -- his most frequently used pitch -- and opponents have an expected batting average of .210 vs. it. Opponents are batting .222 against his fastball.

Orioles @ Blue Jays
At Sahlen Field
RHP
1-3, 4.33 ERA, 24 SO
The O's most consistent starter this season, Cobb is fully healed from the hip issues that derailed his 2019 season. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 3.73 ERA over six starts, and one of Baltimore's best trade chips.
RHP
3-2, 3.27 ERA, 29 SO
Walker makes his Blue Jays debut after coming over in a deal from the Mariners, but he hasn't pitched since Aug. 19. One of the main appeals of Walker is his ability to pitch deep into games, which Toronto's bullpen would love to see.

Dodgers @ Rangers
At Globe Life Field
RHP
3-1, 5.61 ERA, 27 SO
Stripling lasted only four innings last time out, with both runs scoring on homers. His fastball has been getting clubbed. He's allowed a Major League-leading 10 homers in 29 2/3 innings.
RHP
4-1, 1.93 ERA, 56 SO
Lynn is making his first start against the Dodgers since 2017 and second in last five seasons. He has made seven career starts against them and is 3-1 with a 3.69 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP.

Pirates @ Brewers
At Miller Park
RHP
0-0, 4.50 ERA, 22 SO
Brubaker's stuff looked sharper in his last start, his longest outing of the season, as he struck out six and gave up two runs while working into the fifth in a win over the Brewers. He should be stretched out to pitch five or six innings.
LHP
2-2, 4.18 ERA, 20 SO
Anderson is coming off consecutive quality starts against the Twins and Reds, allowing three runs on 10 hits and a heavy dose of ground balls over 12 innings in those games as he earned the win in both.

Nationals @ Red Sox
At Fenway Park
RHP
1-4, 6.90 ERA, 23 SO
Sánchez is coming off his first win of the 2020 season, allowing one run in seven innings against the Marlins. He has faced the Red Sox only four times in his career (two starts), going 1-0 with a 5.51 ERA.
RHP
0-1, 7.88 ERA, 10 SO
The righty will be called up from the alternate training site to make his second start of the season. Mazza hopes this goes better than the last one, when he gave up eight hits and four runs over three innings at Yankee Stadium.

Giants @ D-backs
At Chase Field
RHP
0-0, 2.51 ERA, 18 SO
Cahill struck out eight over 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball against the D-backs on Sunday. Chase Field is a familiar venue for Cahill, who played for Arizona from 2012-14.
RHP
1-5, 8.23 ERA, 34 SO
Weaver appears to be back to his old self after a rough beginning to the season. In his past two starts, he has a 2.53 ERA over 10 2/3 innings. Last time out, he allowed a pair of runs over 5 2/3 innings against the Giants.

Padres @ Rockies
At Coors Field
RHP
0-0, 7.71 ERA, 7 SO
This start originally belonged to Adrian Morejon, who was placed on the injured list, setting the stage for Michel Baez's second career start. The Padres plan to make this a bullpen game.
RHP
3-1, 3.32 ERA, 28 SO
Senzatela gave up four home runs in his last start at Dodger Stadium. However, he has good recent memories at Coors against the Padres -- six innings, one run, four hits, six strikeouts on Aug. 2.

Mariners @ Angels
At Angel Stadium
LHP
2-3, 4.75 ERA, 29 SO
The 24-year-old rookie gave up four runs in three innings to the Angels in his season debut, but Sheffield has been outstanding in his last three starts, with a 1.00 ERA, 16 strikeouts and 2 walks over 18 innings vs. the Rockies, Astros and Rangers.
