Sit/Start Week 7: Reviewing All Starting Pitcher Matchups From 5/14 – 5/20

Here's a giant table of every starting pitcher matchup for Week 7, telling you which pitchers should get in your lineup or stick on your bench.

Every Sunday here at Pitcher List, I review all expected starting pitcher matchups for the week ahead. There are three labels: StartMaybe, 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 7 start from 5/14 – 5/20:

  1. Stephen Mejias says:

    Hi. This is my first time commenting here. Thanks so much for all of the excellent, entertaining, and informative articles! I’ve learned so much and have had a great time here. My question is: Tyler Anderson seems like a great choice against two relatively weak offenses, but does that take into consideration the fact that both San Francisco and San Diego are much stronger against lefties?
    Thanks again!

    • Nick Pollack says:

      Hey Stephen! Thanks for the kind words and frequenting the site.

      Great question. I think Tyler Anderson is good enough that the label of “good/bad vs. Lefties” isn’t enough to deter me from rolling with him outside of Coors. I tend not to put a ton of weight against lefty/righty splits unless extreme scenarios.

  2. Mallex P. Keaton says:

    Who is more on the start side of your “Maybe” designations: Hamels @ CWS or Pomeranz v BAL? 5×5 roto

  3. Wheelhouse Wreck says:

    Hi Nick! Great stuff on here. It’s the best…seriously. Just wondering if you take the win into account for your analysis or the quality start. Also, home/road splits and recent production (if they’re hot or cold). You rock

    • Nick Pollack says:

      Good question. Wins/QS, not much – only in care scenarios. Home/road – very rarely. Recent production – Definitely, but not religiously.

  4. Jim says:

    Hey Nick,

    You have Suter going two days in a row, just a heads up.

    • Nick Pollack says:

      Thanks for the catch! He shouldn’t even be there at all!

      Replaced with Maybes from Chase Anderson and Freddy Peralta.

  5. NH says:

    Who would you start this week for pitchers
    Pivetta, Buehler or Bettis

    Didi is struggling so would you do this
    Didi sit
    Dee Gordon 2B
    Manacho BALT SS
    Joze Ramirez 3B

  6. BigTuna says:

    How come you like Soroka more than Castillo against the Cubs this week?

  7. Martin Schneider says:

    Love your work, but I’m not sure I trust labeling Skoglund a “Start” today. Care to elaborate?

  8. Southern Marylander says:

    Do you guys have a Google Sheets doc you can share that has this info, same as the MLB Debuts doc?

    • Nick Pollack says:

      What info would you want?

      • Southern Marylander says:

        Just the very same table. I can pull it with IMPORTHTML, if that doesn’t tax your site too much, though if there’s a Google Sheet available that would be easier than having to create a formula with dynamic HTML names. I’m using it in a massive spreadsheet that I built for the guys in my fantasy league. It analyzes the weekly results / match-ups and uses FanGraphs projections to project future head-to-head results.

  9. Willy says:

    Lance McCullers against the Indians you say start. The current Indians are batting 417 against McCullers. McCullers seems to be pitching much better this year is that why you think he’s a start? Thank you

  10. Jon says:

    Hey Nick!

    I own both Nola and Flaherty, going head to head today. Barely losing ERA(.14), WHIP(.01), W(1), K(10), QS(2). Relievers that could go are Hand, Vizc, Strickland, B. Norris.

    Do I start both, or just Nola?

  11. Martin says:

    Flaherty’s a start today right?
