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.
Color Legend:
Green = Blindly Start
Blue = Likely start, comes with some risk
Gray = Neutral start, decent but be cautious
Yellow = Sit, but has upside if you need it
Red = Do. Not. Start.

Thanks for the outstanding work, Nick! Are you worried about Matt Boyd and/or Patrick Corbin? What do each need to improve to be better next season? If you owned either in dynasty, would you be looking to sell low on either or are you holding with hopes that one or both reestablish value next season? Thanks!
