    I’ve circled a few early games that have my attention. It’s still a way-too-early look, but these are the matchups I’m staring at right now.

    Washington and the over because both starters have been getting hit, the game is at Coors and the setup points to plenty of runs with value on the Nationals side IMO

    Miami First 5 because Phillips has been the steadier starter, while Imai has struggled badly with runs and walks. Back the better early pitching matchup without dealing with Houston’s bullpen

    These are just a few 6 AM circles, nothing serious yet. Just a couple matchups that caught my eye early, pre-coffee and pre-lineup

    Buehler is probably not truly a 5.36 ERA pitcher. He is more like a 4.30 to 4.60 ERA pitcher right now, but with major blowup potential because he does not miss enough bats and his fastball gets hit hard

    In his two July starts, Castillo allowed 14 hits, six earned runs and three homers over 11 innings. 

    Bottom line  Castillo is probably closer to a mid-4.00 ERA pitcher than a true 4.93, but the underlying numbers do not point toward a major rebound either.
