What is happening. I'm continuing last week's shift in format as I'm ranking the Top 100 Starting Pitchers for the rest of the season while including their estimated ROS schedule. Check out this article for a refresher on how this is being done, and now let's look at an updated strength of schedule table as I've made a few changes - remember, I've sorted teams into five tiers of Top, Good, Average, Weak, and Bottom.
You’d take Nola over Tanaka for the playoffs? You have Nola ranked above him, but seems like Tanaka might have an easier schedule ROS. Nola was dropped a few days ago.
My playoffs start next week. I’m in first. H2H
Any other options? I’d love to roll with both.
Nick, thoughts on Nola tomorrow vs. MIA? I know you have him as a START in your weekly article, but Miami just seems to have his number this season to the tune of 0-3 with a 10.67 ERA. I can’t afford for him to get blown up with my playoffs starting this week.
Yeah, I understand the concern here. My gut says that Nola will put that behind him, but if you’re not struggling for starts, it’s not the worst idea to bench him to be safe.
