Every weekend here at Pitcher List, I review all expected starting pitcher matchups for the week ahead. There are three labels: Start, Maybe, and Sit. Outings marked with a Maybe are circumstantial and dependent on your needs in a 12-teamer, while the other two are self-explanatory. Feel free to question my designations in the comments and we’ll dive into it together.
Here’s the massive table containing every Week 21 start from 8/21 – 8/27:
[table id=36 /]
Founder of Pitcher List. Creator of CSW, The List, and SP Roundup. Worked with MSG, FanGraphs, CBS Sports, and Washington Post. Former college pitcher, travel coach, pitching coach, and Brandeis alum. Wants every pitcher to be dope.
Rodon and Rodriguez are both available, which should I pickup to start tomorrow?
I’d go Rodon.
We starting Max this week.? What if the neck still bothers him when he’s eligible to return? That’s my concern. Have 2 start Skaggs as well as Castillo v Pitt, Wacha v TB. I need two. Leaning Scaggs> Wacha> Castillo. What say you?
I think that’s a risk you need to take with Scherzer.
I’d rather Castillo over Skaggs and Wacha. That Houston start is super risky for Skaggs.
Would you go with two-start Taillon or risk it with Max?
Taillon. Don’t want to take the risk with Scherzer.
I take this back Chucky, I looked into Scherzer’s issue more and I don’t buy that he’ll be back in time. No need to rush him given the Nats’ situation.
Castillo + Skaggs.
Need to start 2 of these guys: looking to protect ratios. M. Fulmer (vs Yankees, not CHW), C. Anderson, Bauer, or Taillon.
Or I could play 3 and sit shane greene. I am chasing saves and need to put Oh in my lineup and greene hasn’t gotten any saves in 2 weeks
Don’t sit Greene.
Even with Yanks instead of ChiSox, I trust Fulmer the most.
clevinger,, rodon or rodriquez for Monday? All available
Rodon
H2H Points league, pick 1 :
Castillo v. KC; Hyun Jin Ryu @ PIT; Ray @ NYM. Thank you.
Castillo, but he’s getting the Pirates not KC.
Nick, you’re OK with starting Morton against WSH? I’m a little hesitant
The Nats haven’t been scary while Harper has been out + Morton has looked great recently. I’m going for it.
Cheers!
JA Happ pushed to Friday vs MIN. Still a “Start”? MIN one of top OPS teams as of late.
Yep, I’m still starting Happ there.
