Every Friday I look at every projected two-start pitcher for the week ahead and detail my thoughts about rolling with them on your roster. There are four tiers: Definitely, Probably, Questionable, Bench. Definitely Start features starters that are no doubters for the week ahead followed by Probably Start with pitchers that look like good plays but may create a hesitation or two. Players labeled as Questionable are for deeper leagues or have one-of-two outings that should be skipped. Pitchers under Bench should be avoided despite their two starts in the week ahead.
Definitely Start
Stephen Strasburg (ATL, @NYM)
Clayton Kershaw (@CLE, @CIN)
Michael Pineda (@LAA, @OAK)
David Price (PHI, @HOU)
Yu Darvish (@HOU, SEA)
What about Joe Musgrove?
Where does Taillon fall on this now that we know he is back Monday?
Does McCarthy actually have a 2-start week? Rotowire has him down for 1, with Kershaw starting Tuesday’s game.
You’re correct, the Dodgers like to switch things often in their rotation and McCarthy was pushed back a day for Kershaw since Friday’s publication.
Oh well, that could set him up nicely for two starts next week against the Mets and the Rockies at home.
