Skills and performances are critical when projecting future closers, as are contracts in some cases. We project the OAK, HOU and LAA closer roles and look at SEA's surging rotation.
Jake Odorizzi has a unique reverse LH/RH skill split; he owns some of the best skills of any SP against LH bats. Odorizzi could emerge quickly with a tweak against righties.
After another Grant Balfour stumble, might it be time to give Jake McGee a ninth-inning shot? Also: Gausman, Red Sox OF; Alfonso Soriano and Liam Hendriks.
Ryan Vogelsong is today's top choice starting pitcher in his home matchup versus the Nationals. Plus more on the starts of B.Norris, C.Morton, E.Ramirez, and Cingrani.
