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.
Note: I’ve made a change moving forward to this daily article. I’ll now be including 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.

Hey Nick,
I think max fried is starting for the Braves today. I’m just checking to see if I should start him or canning today
He is! Sorry for the confusion.
Start Fried.
Nick Kingham is back! But you aren’t excited
Oh how I wish that I was.
Hopefully he’ll be amazing and win back my love.
Jeffrey Rodriguez going to dominate today. Wait, someone say Kingham! The king is back!
Nick, I am concerned with starting M. Gonzalez in New York and Boston this week. Should he be reserved in either match?
I’d have some hesitation, though the choice ultimately comes down to what other options you have.
At the very least, I’d hold off against the Red Sox.
What’s wrong with McHugh lately Nick? Is he safe to roll out tonight?
How do you score 0 runs when your first two hitters go 5 for 8 with 2 doubles? Indians did it today.
