Week 19 Starting Pitcher Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

Nothing shakes up a pitching rotation like moves at the trade deadline. Not only do new acquisition need to fit into their schedule of starts but it requires strategy to not disrupt other pitcher schedules in the process. For the team that has dealt away a starter a new vacancy needs to be filled. Add in a wacky week of schedules to trade deadline week, with several teams having only five games and many having seven or more, and anything goes. That’s why we provide our weekly starting pitcher rankings to help fantasy managers make the right lineup decisions.
