4-2, 2.38 ERA, 104 SO

Phillies @ Rays
At Tropicana Field
RHP
4-2, 2.92 ERA, 53 SO

Brewers @ Cardinals
At Busch Stadium
RHP
3-5, 3.05 ERA, 91 SO
After going 18-4 in Woodruff's starts in 2019, the Brewers will finish with a losing record behind him in '20. But 6-7 will feel a lot better than 5-8, especially given the playoff stakes.
RHP
5-3, 3.15 ERA, 54 SO
Wainwright was cruising early against the Royals on Monday, but he ran into trouble and exited without getting through the sixth inning. He allowed three runs on six hits, walked two and struck out seven in his penultimate start of the season.

Red Sox @ Braves
At Truist Park

Reds @ Twins
At Target Field
RHP
4-6, 3.21 ERA, 89 SO
Castillo is pitching his best when it matters. In four September starts, he is 4-0 with a 1.26 ERA. While his changeup remains a bread-and-butter pitch, he's also made his slider a tough third pitch for hitters.
RHP
2-0, 3.38 ERA, 25 SO
Pineda looks to be in line for a start in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series, if needed. He has replicated his 2019 consistency in four September starts with a 3.18 ERA, 21 strikeouts and four walks.

At Progressive Field
RHP
1-5, 3.86 ERA, 55 SO

Angels @ Dodgers
At Dodger Stadium
RHP
0-4, 10.05 ERA, 20 SO

RHP
2-2, 2.31 ERA, 46 SO
Gonsolin gets the start, giving him pole position over Julio Urías and Dustin May to get the call if there is a Game 3 in the Wild Card Series next week. With a 0.787 WHIP, it’s hard to argue against him.

Padres @ Giants
At Oracle Park
RHP
7-4, 2.73 ERA, 63 SO
Davies has been ridiculously steady this year, with every outing lasting at least five innings and none with more than three earned runs. Davies uses a changeup/cutter/sinker mix that keeps hitters off-balance despite his low velocity.
RHP
2-3, 5.40 ERA, 56 SO
Cueto has been hampered by a hip injury and has logged a 6.92 ERA since Aug. 25. He endured the worst start of his Giants tenure on Monday, giving up seven runs over 4 1/3 innings vs. Colorado.
