Below you will find our fantasy baseball and DFS rankings for all of today's projected starting pitchers (August 5th). We have been publishing this column for a few weeks now, and so far the feedback has been pretty good. Let us know what you think on Twitter too.
The concept is pretty straight forward. We round up our daily pitcher rankings, which will hopefully help you make your start/sit and DFS lineup decisions.
Use this column to set your season-long and DFS lineups for today, and get a better sense of which starters we think will have success. If readers like it, we'll keep doing it. And if readers really like it, we'll do it for hitters too. Here we go.
