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.

A bit off topic but wanted your opinion. I’m playing in a 12 teams 40 man roster 7*7 dynasty league where both Julio rodriguez and kristian Robinson are on the wire. I’m currently in 3rd place with a good chance to make the playoffs. Do I run to the waiver wire to pick one or both of them up or do I keep the spot for rotating Pitchers from the wire.
Thats tough lol. Rodriguez is having a good year, Robinson is a nice keeper but you play for championships and streaming helps. You can probably wait if those two are not owned already.
A no-no in a game with an opener would be something to talk about.
