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.

What kind of pitch is Canning holding in the picture? I’ve never seen that grip.
Looks like a circle change but he lifts his index finger instead of keeping it down.
It’s how he throws his slider believe it or not
Always appreciate these rankings. From Hernandez down, who do you think is most likely to get a win tomorrow? Thanks.
