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.

I think Clippard goes today 8/11 for Twins followed by bulk.
Any love for Marco Gonzo? Aaron Nola got me off to a great start last night, I’d like to build on it, but don’t want to wreck ERA/WHIP. That being said, I’m in a Wins and Quality Starts league, so I’d love to get the double dip with Marco vs. the hapless Rangers. Thoughts?
I’m sitting Stripling today — he has not been great and the Padres are a top 5 offense.
Fair to say maybe bKeller should be almost a #11 or 12 start tmrw? Pitching in CIN is tough for sure but Reds offense seems a bit overrated at this point no (plus no Moose).
Keller under the hood (first game vs CHC) seemed quite strong
I am in a league with a starts cap at 8. Do you know of any relievers going after a false starter?
