Every weekend here at Pitcher List, I review all expected starting pitcher matchups for the week ahead. There are three labels: Start, Maybe, and Sit. Outings marked with a Maybe are circumstantial and dependent on your needs in a 12-teamer, while the other two are self-explanatory. Feel free to question my designations in the comments and we'll dive into it together.
Here's the massive table containing every Week 7 start from 5/15 - 5/21:
Founder of Pitcher List. Creator of CSW, The List, and SP Roundup. Worked with MSG, FanGraphs, CBS Sports, and Washington Post. Former college pitcher, travel coach, pitching coach, and Brandeis alum. Wants every pitcher to be dope.
Please explain why Lance McCullers is a Maybe versus Miami. I would have thought he’d be a start. Thanks.
Simple: it’s wrong.
Thanks for the catch! He’s obviously a start.
What’s the worry with Triggs against Seattle? They seam to be struggling to hit right now and Triggs has been pretty good so far.
If you own him and rely on Triggs in any way, yeah you start him. I’m more expressing that I have some concerns given that he’s already performed poorly against them this season and I put more weight in the grand scope of a team than a small stretch from the Mariners standpoint – they’re still a top 10 offense in my book.
Why is Corey kluber listed as starting for the 19th?
My source believed he would be returning, but I think you’re right and we won’t see him this week.
Sorry about that!
‘Maybe’ doesn’t do anybody any good. I read these articles to find the answer to maybe.
It was originally just sit or start, then I included maybe as possible streamer choices for those in 12 team leagues.

Yahoo has 5/16 Phi vs Tex being Eickhoff, and him two-starting on sunday @Pit. Confirm? Also, does this make him a ‘sit’ against Darvish on monday?
I’m seeing Eflin and Eickhoff from multiple sources, but I’d start him both against Texas and PIT even if Darvish is involved.
Consequently I am seeing Nola returning to action Saturday @ Pit. You’re thoughts on this start?
Isn’t that why “‘sit’ against Darvish on monday” kinda makes a little sense,maybe?
I’m conflicted on that one since I believe in DLH (Disabled List Hangover) where I don’t start a pitcher in his first back from the DL. I imagine whenever Nola returns, his pitches will be limited, capping the upside for the outing.
would u start eflin against perez? or is he still a sit?
Still a sit.
Garza against SD this Wed should be a start in my book. Most pitchers are a start against them and Garza looks decent lately. I would love to hear why he should sit… Maybe his FIP is off. Thanks
The reason is I am considering taking Garza over Nelson right now for this week streaming. Would you take Nelson over Garza right now? Thanks guru!
Taijuan vs. the Padres is a clear start.
For sure. I wish he was available. Maybe in a 6 -8 team league he would be . Ours is only 10.
Karns worth the pick-up in an 8-man league? You seem pretty high on him, especially after reading this week’s PitchList.
Which 2/3 would you start: Karns, Berrios, Gio Gonzalez?
Start Andrew Triggs or Jimmy Nelson tonight?
Triggs
Drop somebody like A.J. Griffin or Trevor Bauer for Jesse Hahn or Alex Cobb? If so, which ones? 10 team H2H
I don’t think any of those four should be owned in a 10 teamer…Alex Cobb is my favorite in the short term for his next start.
