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.

I need everything from these guys. Could you rank your top three in order.
Sorry for the long list-I have 3 teams I’m picking up for.
Thank you for a great short season. Looking forward to hopefully a longer season in 2021.
Will Quantrill get another start?
Really concerned about starting Pablo Lopez at Atlanta tonight. Surprised to see Lopez listed as the No. 8 starter for tonight concerning the last horrible start against Atlanta and his 2020 road record.
Should he be faded tonight?
