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.
Red = Postponed.

Would you choose Canning today or Thornton tomorrow for a streamer? Can only have one. Thanks in advance!
I’d go with Canning.
Are we sure we should be starting Nola today? I play in a daily league with an innings limit.
Yes, the Rockies are bad on the road and Nola can figure it out right away (He has a TIARA).
If you’re gunning purely for Ks in an H2H matchup, with other ratios largely shot – how would you rank this group:
Fiers
Quantrill
Roark
Hellickson
Duffy
Is Berrios a risky start v. the potent Seattle offense tonight?
