Week 20 Starts & Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups

Freddy Peralta - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Ellis Canady's recommended fantasy baseball starts and sits for all Week 20 starting pitcher matchups. Set your optimal SP lineups daily, and win big in 2021.

It seems that there is more shake-up in the starting pitcher ranks than we might expect this week. We've got some injured guys returning this week, some of which we haven't heard of in quite some time. For this reason, make sure you scour your waiver wire thoroughly to make sure you don't miss anyone. As always, the SP planner should help you identify a few different options for Week 20 and assist in determining an optimal lineup. As always, do a little research and give your best effort when making decisions.

Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 20 -- August 9nd through August 15th -- which will be updated as rotations are 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.

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 is 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 outlook against lefties and righties, 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.

Each player will be valued with a Start/Sit recommendation. Additionally, you'll see a color-coded score behind the recommendation. Green and Red provide a strong vote of confidence in starting or sitting that player. Yellow identifies players that are on the fence in this writer's mind, but leaning either Start or Sit. You could determine your level of risk and make your own decisions.

This chart is updated daily as more rotations/starters are announced. This also includes any postponements due to weather, COVID, etc.
