Open Extended ReactionsThe stretch run of the fantasy baseball season is upon us.
Fantasy's Week 19 brings us a remarkably balanced schedule, with one exception: The Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves are scheduled for a Saturday doubleheader, one of the games making up for the team's April 6 postponement, giving each team a rare eight-game week.
This should be a week of starting pitching debuts for new teams, though post-trade deadline fallout leaves a few teams' pitching assignments in flux.
As things stand, it appears likely that we'll see Michael Soroka make his Chicago Cubs debut (probably Monday), JP Sears make his San Diego Padres debut (also probably Monday), Adrian Houser make his Tampa Bay Rays debut (again Monday), Zack Littell make his Cincinnati Reds debut (probably Tuesday) and Bailey Falter make his Kansas City Royals debut (also probably Tuesday).
Nestor Cortes could also return from the injured list to debut for the Padres (perhaps Wednesday).
