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.

If you are up in all pitching categories and have Flaherty & Clevinger going today do you throw Richards our there too? 6×6 QS K/9
Up just based on Monday?
I think it’s more important to weigh your full week’s starts vs. your opponents and see if you need Richards’ game.
My instinct is to hold off as there are a lot of streaming options this week if you feel you’ve fallen behind.
I am up after a week, 2 week playoff this is week too. I have starter depth he is try to catch me in the ratio & K/9 cats with reliever’s and occasional starters. If Flaherty & Clevinger take care of business today I should be good to go. But I do have Lynn, Clevinger (9/8) & A. Sanchez as backup plans.
I think you’re fine sitting Richards, then.
If Urias is a FS today who will be getting the bulk innings in relief?
How are you feeling about Keller today?
I’m super nervous!
he looked really good till he got nailed
Ryu ranked 2nd against Rockies- you think? He’s been getting hammered…
COL is a bottom five offense on the road.
