Every Sunday here at Pitcher List, we review all expected starting pitcher matchups for the week ahead. This week is a little different with just the opening weekend featured today and an expanded article for next week arriving over the weekend.
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 opening weekend start from 3/28 – 3/31:
