Just six games on tap on Thursday’s MLB slate makes for one of the diciest pitching situations of the season. Sure, there are a couple of sure things — Yu Darvish and Drew Rasmussen are set-it-and-forget-it options right now — but things thin out considerably after that. Still, our daily starting pitcher rankings never sleep, and we even managed to dig up a streaming recommendation for your fantasy baseball team.
Starting pitcher rankings for Thursday, May 11
Pitchers to stream
Mike Clevinger, Chicago White Sox — Domingo German and Brady Singer could also be options here, but German has too tall a task in the Tampa Bay Rays’ league-best offense while Singer is currently sporting a ghastly 8.82 ERA. Clevinger hasn’t been too much better, but he does have 15 Ks over the last 11 innings, giving him some upside if he has his best stuff — and the Kansas City Royals’ offense shouldn’t be too tall a task.
And now, without further ado, here are your full starting pitcher rankings for fantasy baseball on Thursday, May 11.
