Here are your morning rankings for today’s starting pitcher options.
It’s not perfect and will be far from the actual results at the end of the day, though it should give guidance for those questioning who to slot into your lineup on a given day.
There is a second table for tomorrow’s starting pitcher matchups as well, helping everyone get a jump on their nightly pickups. Please note that these matchups are subject to change, though, and there will be times when I have the incorrect pitcher going. I thank you for your future understanding.
Pitchers highlighted in yellow = Possible streaming options.
FS = False Starter where there is an assumed opener actually starting the game.
Red = Postponed.

Just curious – What were your thoughts on Stripling against the (4A guys from SF) below Heaney on the road vs Oakland?
Super close and depends on what you want.
I wonder how many frames Stripling will go (long enough for a Win?), there’s definitely less risk of a massive implosion, but I’m very slightly favoring Heaney’s ceiling.
Thanks, Nick! Do you project QS in these rankings/designations or is it best to use The List for that stuff?
Hey Micah!
This is a blend of overall performance, moreso for Wins than QS.
How do you feel about Randy Dobnak Today?
If Ray has a good start against SD today where would you rank him after the changes to his delivery? Would you take him ahead of Glasnow, Lynn or Giolito after his best down yesterday?
Not seeing Minor on today’s list, where would you put him?
Thanks for catching that, my source keeps missing that COL/TEX game…
Put him at 10th in today’s updated rankings article https://pitcherlist.com/ranking-all-of-today-and-tomorrows-sp-streamers-7-25-7-26/
