who is your favourite pitcher to watch now?

I really like watching Scherzer when he is healthy, along with Cole and Kershaw. Strider is a beast, sad to see him get hurt. I really like seeing Alcantara from Miami throw 200+ IP. Glasnow is a total beast when he is on, I really hope he stays healthy.
I have to say the guys who only go 4 2/3s and 5IP are NOT my favorites to watch. I'm absolutely baffled that managers and front offices are emphasizing that type of pitcher to be in their starting rotation.
Nolan Ryan said something to me that made a lot of sense at the time:
The more pitchers you put in a game, the more likely one of them is to have an off day and cost you a win.
The better the starting pitcher, the longer he should be encouraged to go.

If it's good enough for Nolan, it's good enough for me. Haha.
Thanks for the response.
