Week 14 Starting Pitcher Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

As we near the halfway point of the season we approach two important milestones when it comes to starting pitchers. The first is a determination of what early season standout is real or not. Pitchers like Seth Lugo, Bryan Woo, and others all fall into this category. The second important milestone is the start of conversations around season innings limits. This is particularly true for the many converted relievers turned starting pitcher aces so far this season, like Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Reynaldo Lopez. While each likely has many more outings to go yet this season, there could start to be a slowdown in the frequency of starts or the length of starts to monitor. All of these considerations will be taken into account as we provide our weekly starting pitcher rankings this week and moving forward.
