Every Sunday 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 13 start from 6/25 – 7/1:
Note: There is a lot of confusion about rotations this week with rainouts and injuries. These matchups are subject to change.

If Hellickson pitches Friday @PHI does he get a ‘Maybe’ for his DLH or a ‘Bench’ for his DLH? Maybe go a little freaky to say ‘Start’?
Considering King Felix on 6/25 vs BAL. He just dominated NYY and BOS. I don’t see why he can’t do the same against BAL with high potential for the win. Not much to be scared of here. Thoughts?
sounds like you’ve never owned/streamed Felix before
I don’t think I can bring myself to start Carlos Martinez against Cleveland. He’s been horrific since coming off the DL and the Indians are 4th in MLB in R/G at 5.05. The Martinez of our hopes and dreams gets that start; this one does not.
I also can’t start Arrieta against the Yankees.
Why are you recommending Suter stay on the bench against Kansas City? The Royals are the worst offense in baseball and Suter has been pretty decent. Since May 12, he’s had three bad starts: at Colorado, at Philadelphia, and vs St. Louis. He’s had five good to great starts including the last two against previous foes the Phillies and Cardinals. He’s basically a quintessential streamer to me: sit against good offenses or in certain ballparks and start against bad offenses.
DLH situation for Ray on Wednesday against the Fish? News just came out he is being activated for Wednesday start.
Also I’d like to thank you as I would have gotten a win this week if not for Brad Hand blowing up my Whip at the last minute. But your streaming recommendations helped a ton and would not have gotten there without your help. Streamers: Marco Estrada based on you Roundup from his previous start, Suarez, and Derek Rodriguez.
Thanks for it all Nick.
