MLB DFS Picks: Starting Pitcher Rankings for Tuesday 4/14/26

The 2026 MLB regular season is in full-swing. There’s another jam-packed slate on the books Tuesday, so there is no better time to dive right into the action. Pitchers are already ranked by price, with the ones who are projected to perform better eating up more of your budget, but I am here to add my two cents. I’ll be sharing my own rankings for the top 10 starting pitchers for DFS in the 10-game Tuesday night contest that locks at 7:05 p.m. ET.
