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.

Why are you so low on Adam plutko against the tigers?
Would you roll with Rich Hill or Nick Pivetta ROS? Obviously Hill is ranked higher on your pitcher ranking list, but it seems like Pivetta has strung together his 2 best starts of the season and is showing signs of reaching his potential, while Hill is known to be a band aid boy. I really appreciate the matchup rankings, especially because the extend out one day ahead. It sure helps to stream ahead of the other team managers. Thanks!
Hill has a much safer floor of producing with the downside of being hurt often – at least you get that roster spot back when he isn’t!
We’re all excited about Pivetta, but he’s “figured it out” many times before. As much as I want to buy into it, I have to preach caution in this incredibly small sample.
No love for Zach Davies on Friday? OK, he’s overperforming on ERA in 2019, but at San Francisco he should be higher than #16?
Looking ahead to Sat, Would you prefer Newcomb or Nelson as a streamer looking for Ks and win
