Forecaster: July 16-22

Updated: July 16, 2012, 1:12 PM ET

On tap: In the first full seven-day week of baseball's traditional "second half," the American League has a fairly full schedule. Eleven of the 14 AL squads play a full seven games, though oddly enough, the Texas Rangers play a league-low five times. Over in the National League, we have an eight-game week, the result of an Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals Saturday doubleheader. Seven other NL teams play seven times, with the other six teams playing six apiece.

ESPN leagues with weekly transaction deadlines would have already locked lineups; the scoring period began this past Thursday, July 13, and runs through Sunday, July 22. So consider this Forecaster update a handy helper for those of you in ESPN leagues with daily lineups, or those of you in off-site leagues (for shame!).

For further analysis of the week's matchups, see the full "Week 14" Forecaster right here. Today's update simply refreshes the pitching and hitting grids as well as the top 75 starting pitching rankings.

Several notable starting pitchers will mark their returns from the disabled list in the early stages of the week. The Philadelphia Phillies will welcome Roy Halladay back to their rotation for a Tuesday start at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, though that is tentatively scheduled to be his only turn of the week. The New York Yankees get CC Sabathia back on Tuesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays, putting him in line for two turns (the second is expected to be Sunday at Oakland's O.co Coliseum). And Colby Lewis rejoins the Rangers' rotation on Wednesday at Oakland, though that's his only scheduled start.

ESPN leagues: Week 14

Monday's first game is Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers on ESPN and ESPN3, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Here are the scheduled start times of the first games each day:

Some of the data used to generate this chart is derived from Baseball Musings' Day-by-day database.

H: Hitters' matchup rating, which accounts for the opposing starting pitcher's past history (three years' worth as well as past 21 days) as well as ballpark factors. L: Hitters' matchup rating accounting only for left-handed hitters. R: Hitters' matchup rating accounting for only right-handed hitters. S: Base stealing matchup rating, which accounts for the opponent's catchers' ability to gun down opposing base stealers. Ratings range from 1-10, with 10 representing the best possible matchup, statistically speaking, and 1 representing the worst.
