STARTING PITCHERS FOR FRIDAY<\/p>\n

Pitchers are ranked in order of their Forecaster\/Daily Notes projected fantasy points (FPTS<\/b>), using ESPN’s standard scoring system (2 points per win, minus-2 per loss, 3 per inning, 1 per K, minus-1 apiece per hit or walk allowed, minus-2 per earned run allowed).<\/p>\n

T:<\/b> The pitcher’s handedness. OPP:<\/b> Opposing team. RST%:<\/b> The pitcher’s roster percentage in ESPN leagues. ML:<\/b> ESPN BET Money Line. O\/U:<\/b> ESPN BET Over\/Under for runs scored. For the projected stat line, W%<\/b> is the team’s win probability using ESPN projections, IP<\/b> is innings pitched, ER<\/b> is earned runs allowed and K<\/b> is strikeouts.<\/p>\n

If a team is planning on using an “opener” to start their game, but will rely on a “bulk pitcher” to follow him on the mound after 1-2 innings, the bulk pitcher is listed and indicated with an asterisk.<\/p>\n
