The Fantasy Baseball Forecaster has been updated as of Sunday, May 7, at 8:55 a.m. ET.
Welcome to the new and improved version of the Fantasy Baseball Forecaster! This year, we've reorganized the story into four parts; it's the same great intel, but you get right where you need to go as fast as possible. Good luck this season!
Here's the scheduled starter for each game scheduled from May 1 to 7, including a projected game score for each pitcher in each matchup. A 50 is typically deemed a "quality start" by this measure, while a 70 is considered a dominant start:
Pitching scuttlebutt
Chris Tillman (DL: shoulder) will join the Baltimore Orioles' rotation on May 7.
The Seattle Mariners haven't yet announced their May 7 replacement for James Paxton (DL: forearm). Dillon Overton is likely to get the assignment, though Christian Bergman would get the call if Overton is needed in relief on May 6.
Odrisamer Despaigne and Jose Urena will be the Miami Marlins' May 6 and 7 fill-ins for Wei-Yin Chen (DL: arm fatigue) and Edinson Volquez (DL: blister).
Rich Hill (DL: blister) is unlikely to be ready to rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers during Week 5.
