Week 16 Start/Sit Matchups - Starting Pitchers

Bill Dubiel's Week 15 (2018) fantasy baseball starting pitcher (SP) matchups - starts, sits, plays and benches. MLB streamers, two-start pitchers and sleepers, based on matchups.

You know what it is--it's my updated starts/sits column for Week 16! Your friendly neighborhood @Roto_Dubs is back again this year with his weekly starting pitcher matchups. This is our fifth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly.

Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 16, and our recommendations on whether to start or sit each pitcher. While this is just for the weekend, we will have an updated list on Sunday. If you've got any questions about which pitchers can capitalize on a juicy matchup and which ones might be worth putting on the pine against a fierce offense, this is the weekly piece for you.

For every week of the fantasy baseball season, we look to analyze all of the projected starting pitcher matchups and put together our optimal lineups. Here at RotoBaller, we believe that it’s key to analyze every SP matchup, each and every week, to help determine which SPs to start/sit and to hopefully find some hidden gems to bolster your teams. Let's set those optimal lineups!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

SP Matchups & Start/Sit Recommendations

This weekly piece considers the pitcher’s opponents, their career stats against the opponent, some ballpark factors and historical splits. With all of this information, we then provide our start/sit recommendations for each starting pitcher matchup for the approaching week of fantasy baseball.
