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.

Nick, Pivetta is the starter for the Phillies today..you meant to have him at #4 for today instead of Nola?
Wondering the same
Ahhh, thanks! Remove Nola and place Pivetta after Bumgarner.
Walker Buehler is going two days in a row!
So is Strasburg. In this case though, Stras might be trying to show Scherzer who the toughest pitcher in DC is. Who cares about a broken nose when you can pitch 14 innings in two days!
If Chad Green is mentioned as the opener for the Yanks today, who would be the bulk man next up? Nestor Cortes and is he worth picking up for the innings and possible W?
I wouldn’t make the move to guess, nor would I trust whoever gets the call against the Astros.
I was a little sketched out by the Astros and just needed confirmation. Thanks Nick!
I think Urias is starting today.
He is, I’ve heard reports that he is acting as an opener for Ferguson.
Would you add Ferguson or Stripling? According to Ken Gurnick, on the Dodgers website, those two will likely follow Urias… Any thoughts? I am just trying to get more points and not lose a start since we only get 8 per week.
Would you recommend starting Framber against the Yankees tonight if I need help in the pitching categories in a 5×5 roto league?
Unless you’re in a position where you need to take a chance, I’d sit it out.
Nola on the back-to-back!
FYI you have nola pitching today and he’s not. It’s just tomorrow.
