This is it, folks, the final day of the regular season and a final look at the MLB probable starters today, Sunday, September 27, 2026. There's really not much to say about a lot of the matchups here over the weekend, so I will rank in my color-coded chart, make a few comments if it's warranted, but at this point, a whole lot of words aren't going to change anything.  Good luck to you in your final weekend push.
