Sit/Start Week 5: Reviewing All Starting Pitcher Matchups From 4/30 – 5/6

Here's a giant table of every starting pitcher matchup this week, telling you which pitchers should get in your lineup or stick on your bench.

Every Sunday here at Pitcher List, I review all expected starting pitcher matchups for the week ahead. There are three labels: StartMaybe, 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 5 start from 4/30 – 5/6:

  1. Jack says:

    Do you like Heaney long term over Tyson Ross, Mike Minor, Kyle Gibson, or Trevor Cahill?

  2. Lars says:

    Hey Nick, between two high K/ high BB guys in Newcomb and Caleb Smith, whose upside do you prefer (QS points league)

    • Dolemite says:

      Not Nick, but I own both and will be starting Newcomb and sitting Smith due to Mets vs LHP and Reds vs LHP (reds are good (115 wrc+), mets are trash (71 wrc+))

  3. Joe says:

    The 5/5 cubs game lists the wrong opposing pitcher….should be luke weaver

  4. Slothrop says:

    Taillon (@WSH and @MIL) or Clevinger (TEX and @NYY) this week in H2H points league? roster locks this eve. thanks, enjoy your work.

  5. David says:
