The match ups and data you see below were pulled Saturday morning. The data is for the 2015 season. Please be aware the match ups are subject to change. If you have any questions about the rankings hit me up Twitter @MattCommins

These are rankings for the entire week so I give the edge to a lot of fantasy pitchers who pitch twice. Also, the rankings are based on traditional 5×5 categories. I also provide write-ups for a few pitchers. My hope is after you read them you have a better understanding of why I ranked them.

The Rangers are a much better offense against righties, but I’m still buying Kevin Gausman. The primary reason is he he’s actually a more effective pitcher against lefties than righties over his career.

If the Royals can make Jeremy Guthrie look like a Major Leaguer then Kris Medlen is going to have fantasy value. He’s been pitching in relief so he may only be limited to 50-60 pitches in his first outing, but if he’s in the rotation the rest of the year he’s a must add in 14-team mixed leagues.

I have Alex Wood as high as I do because he has a great chance to earn two wins. Ultimately (i.e. when he becomes arbitration eligible like Drew Pomeranz) he’s going to wind up in the bullpen.

I loved Derek Holland to begin the year and it looks like he’s finally healthy. In his first start back form the DL the stuff looked great and most importantly did not walk anyone.

Even though Jonathan Gray got lit up by the Mets (in New York) I’m still using him in deep mixed leagues because the matchup is too good to pass up. Also, I’m very likely to be using him because he will likely be priced less than $6,000 in DraftKings.
