This is it – we’ve arrived at the final full week of the season. Interestingly, there’s a limited number of two-start pitchers this week, so it comes down to playing your best pitchers. However, your standings situation will determine your strategy. For instance, if you are safe in ERA and WHIP but behind in strikeouts, then you can throw caution to the wind to chase strikeouts. Or the opposite may apply. Regardless, the start confidence rankings will give you directional advice to apply to your own, hopefully, league-winning pitching decisions.
