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.

You have Berrios starting today and tomorrow! I think Odorizzi is going today. Just FYI :)
I take another look to make sure I don’t miss any updates from yesterday and some can slip through the cracks!
Thanks for the heads up, fixed :)
Mike Minor @CLE today?
Thanks for this! The Rangers updated their rotation.
He’s been added.
I’m too scared to use Odorizzi at home vs Braves. Sorry. =/
I may be too scared to use him vs Indians this weekend.
I wonder why I even still own him?!
…
Folty is going on Tuesday in place of Fried (pushed back to Wednesday). Do you like Folty rest of season better than Matz?
Probably not smart to use Asher @NYY as a streaming today, right?
Yeah, I’d avoid that.
Why is Dinelson Lamet so high up but not your streamer pick? (owned in 6% of ESPN leagues)
Thanks for that! I actually corrected it in the SP Roundup I’m writing now, I didn’t realize yesterday how little owned he still was!
Of course! Thanks for putting these together, they’re major time savers!
