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.

Hi Nick, it looks like Josh James is now going Monday for the Astros.
Thanks! Looks like Framber is following.
Are you in on Framber today?
Is he ever in on an RP?
I play in a league with a Starts limit, so yes, RP that get bulk innings count for us, wins, k’s and era/whip are 4/5 categories in my
Pool. So if he’s in on him, makes a difference for me. There’s now close to 7-8 false starters around the league. It’s a thing!
Ps. I left Framber on the wire, thank God!
Padres have Logan Allen penciled in tomorrow
Pitching in Coors sucks! #game1
