Seven full fantasy weeks are in the book and we're rolling right along! Welcome back to RotoBaller! We're getting you ready for everything week eight. I'm Jon Anderson back with the starts and sits chart!
This looks like another pretty nice week for weather, and right now we don't have any scheduled double-headers, so this is shaping up to be a bit easier to manage for me this week, but let's keep our fingers crossed!
For every week of the fantasy baseball season, we are going to analyze every single projected starting pitcher matchup for fantasy baseball and help you set optimal lineups. Below are the projected starting pitching matchups and starts/sits for Week 8 – May 30-June 5 – which will be updated as rotations continue to be announced and modified. This column will make continuous adjustments for any postponements or rotation shuffles, reflecting official beat writer speculation for as many unconfirmed rotation slots as possible. Let's set those winning lineups!
