Ranking All of Today’s Starting Pitcher Matchups – 3/28

Nick Pollack ranks every starting pitcher matchup for today's games.

It’s Opening Day and there are plenty of new features heading to Pitcher List this season. One of the more requested articles last year was a daily ranking of starting pitcher matchups and we’ve listened. Starting today, I’ll personally be ranking starters every morning through the season.

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.

    Possibly unnecessary duplication of effort on your part. But it might be neat to have a streaming suggestion at the bottom of the article if you’re going to be putting this up every day. I know you have your streamer projection in the daily round-up article already though. Or maybe just a highlight on the list to show your target streamer for the day.

    I love this idea! Thanks so much!

    Nick — awesome stuff! Appreciate all your excellent work. One other suggestion, maybe flying too close to the sun here but what about posting the daily ranking the night before – for leagues that have daily transactions that have to be completed the day before….

    Just my $0.02!
