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.

Is Giolito a start or sit this evening?
Astros looked tamed against NOVA yesterday.
I’m seeing Musgrove slated for Saturday not Friday.
Musgrove vs. LAD or Minor @ LAA?
Dude, you have a Mike Foltynewicz problem. Friends don’t let friends start pitchers drunk. His ERA is over 6,his FIP over 7, he’s lost a couple clicks on his FB, and is probably hurt and facing STL. He’s been 30 spots too high on the list all year and is at least 5 spots too high here. She’s not good for you, bro. Time to let it go.
Ugh, the streaming landscape this weekend is awful. Desclafani at Wrigley? Gross.
Yep, it’s a terrible state that I have to choose Shaun Anderson on Sunday.
So bad.
