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.

I can only start one of the two: Mitch Keller or Lamet?
Thanks for the help all season. Im 3 days away from championship week. Throw me a dart on 1 or 2 pitcher(s) for the next 2 weeks, I need that should be on the waiver wire.
Bold prediction – Mitch has his best game of young career 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 Ks…..or he gets tossed in the first inning for throwing at someone’s skull!
Matt Boyd starting Sunday. Unfortunately, still the Twinkies.
Kelzer? the pirate? be bold, baby!!
Holy crap was I close….gotta play the lottery tomorrow!
