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.

Good morning, Nick. I’m in a trade quandary. I’m dealing Trea Turner and can get back McNeil with either Lourdes and Musgrove or Jorge Polanco and Boyd. Either package works for my roster so it’s just a matter of value. I could probably also get Altuve with Polanco and Musgrove but I’m leery that the injuries have caught up to him and he’s just not the same player anymore. Plus I need McNeil’s versatility. Which way does this scarecrow go?
