Pirates @ Reds
At Great American Ball Park
RHP
0-5, 5.74 ERA, 34 SO
Musgrove put together four shutout innings Tuesday in his second start back from the 10-day IL. He was in complete command against the White Sox, striking out five while allowing three hits and two walks.
RHP
2-1, 4.56 ERA, 23 SO
Lorenzen hasn't started since 2018, when he made three starts in September. He worked a season-high four innings of relief on Aug. 31, and six of his last eight appearances have been more than one inning.

Nationals @ Rays
At Tropicana Field
RHP
2-5, 7.38 ERA, 34 SO
Sánchez faces the Rays for his second consecutive start. He struck out six and allowed three runs on four hits over five innings in a win last Tuesday.
RHP
3-0, 1.42 ERA, 19 SO
Curtiss will be making his 13th appearance this season, but just his second start, as he'll serve as the opener. In his first season with the Rays, Curtiss is 3-0 with a 1.53 ERA and has 18 strikeouts over 17 2/3 innings.

Red Sox @ Marlins
At Marlins Park
RHP
1-0, 0.00 ERA, 7 SO
The Red Sox's No. 10 prospect is set for his Major League debut, three years after he was a first-round Draft pick. Houck has worked hard on his newest pitch -- a splitter -- which he expects will help him be more effective against lefties.
RHP
2-2, 3.45 ERA, 26 SO
In his three starts since coming off the injured list, Alcantara has allowed 15 runs (nine earned) in 16 innings. The right-hander's sinker his his main pitch. Opponents are batting .189 against it.

Mets @ Phillies
At Citizens Bank Park
RHP
1-5, 6.06 ERA, 41 SO
It hasn't been a strong season for Porcello, who owns a 6.38 ERA in his last five starts. But he still has three starts left to turn things around, and the Mets have little choice but to rely on him to do so.
RHP
4-4, 5.08 ERA, 32 SO
Arrieta's importance to the rotation intensified with injuries to Zack Wheeler and Spencer Howard. He has a 3.55 ERA in his past two starts. He needs to keep up that pace the rest of the way.

Blue Jays @ Yankees
At Yankee Stadium
RHP
3-3, 3.05 ERA, 38 SO
Walker's four shutout innings in his last start are deceiving, as he walked five batters, but he still found ways to escape the danger. If he continues to pitch like he has across the rest of 2020, he could be the No. 2 starter come playoff time.
RHP
2-1, 3.28 ERA, 24 SO
García notched his first Major League victory in Wednesday's outing, hurling seven innings of two-run ball against the Blue Jays to snap a Yankees losing streak. García has registered six strikeouts in each of his three starts.

Royals @ Tigers
At Comerica Park
RHP
0-2, 6.94 ERA, 16 SO
The Royals skipped Danny Duffy's turn in the rotation due to a disciplinary measure. Junis will make his sixth start and first against the Tigers this season.
LHP
2-6, 6.75 ERA, 54 SO
Boyd was showing signs of a late-season run before his worst start of the season on Wednesday against Milwaukee, allowing seven runs on eight hits with a season-high four walks over three-plus innings. He had one walk over his previous three starts.

Braves @ Orioles
At Oriole Park at Camden Yards
RHP
0-0, 5.30 ERA, 16 SO
Ynoa will be making his fourth start and first since he gave up six runs over 2 1/3 innings to the Nationals on Sept. 4. Ynoa threw 61 pitches over three innings of relief on Thursday at Nationals Park, so there's a chance he could be asked to give the Braves four innings.
RHP
3-1, 4.13 ERA, 15 SO
Eshelman will be facing the Braves for the first time in his career. He has been successful against National League teams, going 2-0 in five games.

Cardinals @ Brewers
At Miller Park
RHP
3-2, 5.52 ERA, 33 SO
Flaherty wasn't satisfied with his last start, despite earning the win and allowing two runs in five innings with six strikeouts on 95 pitches. He's looking to find a way to be more efficient and go deeper into games.
LHP
3-3, 4.38 ERA, 24 SO
Anderson was scratched from a Saturday start against the Cubs with a tight right hip, but the Brewers are confident it was only a temporary setback. He's cleared at least five innings in four straight starts.

Rangers @ Astros
At Minute Maid Park
RHP
0-1, 1.42 ERA, 12 SO
Cody is 0-1 with a 1.69 ERA in two starts since joining the rotation. He threw a season-high 55 pitches last time out. Opponents are hitting .156 off him, but the right-hander is walking 7.45 batters per nine innings.
RHP
1-1, 2.70 ERA, 10 SO
Urquidy is making third start since missing most of the season following a bout with COVID-19. He pitched well in his most recent start Thursday in Oakland, holding the A’s to two runs and two hits in six innings of a loss.

Twins @ White Sox
At Guaranteed Rate Field
RHP
6-4, 4.05 ERA, 27 SO
Dobnak was simply confused after his last start, when he hit two batters, walked a pair and allowed five runs on only two hits in the third inning vs. St. Louis, a lapse he'll hope to leave behind.
RHP
2-0, 2.33 ERA, 28 SO
Dunning has pitched scoreless baseball in two of his four starts this season, including six shutout innings vs. Pittsburgh on Wednesday en route to his first career victory. Dunning has never faced the Twins.

Guardians @ Cubs
At Wrigley Field
RHP
2-4, 3.27 ERA, 63 SO
With the end of the regular season approaching, Carrasco is hitting his stride at an ideal time. After struggling through a few starts, he has given up just two runs over his last 19 frames.
RHP
7-2, 1.86 ERA, 79 SO
Darvish took a hard-luck loss on Wednesday, when he allowed a three-run homer in the first inning and nothing else vs. the Reds. The righty struck out nine, walked three and gave up two hits over six frames.

Athletics @ Rockies
At Coors Field
LHP
4-3, 4.50 ERA, 41 SO
Manaea is making his case to start Game 1 of the postseason for the first-place A's. He's 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA over his past five starts. Manaea's four-start winning streak is one short of his career high.
RHP
4-2, 3.30 ERA, 36 SO
After some stellar recent outings, Senzatela struggled with fastball command in his last start. He nearly pulled through, but took a loss at San Diego. But in his last home start, he blanked the Padres for seven innings.

Dodgers @ Padres
At Petco Park
RHP
1-1, 1.51 ERA, 30 SO
This will be an interesting test in adjustments for Gonsolin, who is coming off his worst outing of the year, three runs in five innings of relief after Dustin May was kayoed early. Maybe the return to a starting routine is all that is needed to get Gonsolin back on track.
RHP
7-3, 2.69 ERA, 55 SO
Davies is throwing his changeup more than any starter in baseball, and to great success. Opponents are batting .175 against the pitch. Despite a fastball that rarely hits 90 mph, Davies has been arguably the Padres' most reliable starter this year.

D-backs @ Angels
At Angel Stadium
LHP
0-4, 8.53 ERA, 19 SO
Bumgarner is making his third start since being activated off the injured list, where he was for just shy of one month with a mid-back strain. This will be his first career appearance against the Angels.
RHP
0-3, 8.90 ERA, 17 SO
Teheran didn't give up many hard hits, but still allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings in a loss against the Rangers. He's yet to turn in a quality start this season.
