Unless you've got a roster stacked with high-end pitchers you'll start against any matchup, you'll probably need to keep a close eye on the schedule as you get ready to set your lineup for the upcoming week. You'll need to know which of your starters have bad matchups, which are set for two starts in the upcoming week, and which fringe-y options might just be worth going out to grab on waivers. 

Which is why you'll definitely want to check out SportsLine's weekly pitching Start 'Em & Sit 'Em chart from William Dubiel. A 15-year Fantasy veteran, Dubiel got his start in Fantasy baseball and has done work for Rotoballer, Metro US and multiple other outlets during his career. He was named the No. 4 MLB Ranker for the 2017 MLB season, so if there's anybody who can give you an edge in your Fantasy baseball league, it's him.

Now, he's helping you set your pitching lineup each week. William goes through every starting pitcher matchup for the upcoming week, making start and sit picks for each game. Here are some of William's calls for Week 16:

• Danny Duffy isn't full of surprises these days. The 30-year-old veteran has pretty much settled in as a .500-ish pitcher with an ERA between 3.50 and 4.50, and he's trending that way again in 2019. With a 4.28 ERA (backed by a 5.13 SIERA) and a 3-5 record, Duffy has been a fringe Fantasy asset at best so far. However, he's very quietly rattled off quality starts in four of his last five outings, and while he doesn't have any wins to show for it (thanks to the non-existent Royals offense) he's been a usable back-end Fantasy starter in June and July. With home matchups against the Tigers and White Sox in the upcoming matchup period, I trust Duffy as a solid streaming option at the very least.
• With Caleb Smith returning to the Marlins rotation, one of Zac Gallen, Elieser Hernandez and Jordan Yamamoto is destined to go back to the minors. I'm pretty confident it's not going to be Yamamoto, who has a microscopic 1.24 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through his first five starts. While he didn't carry quite as much hype as Gallen, Yamamoto has looked every bit the part of a blue chip prospect. The 23-year-old has above-average strikeout stuff, and he's posted a 27.0% strikeout ratio in those five starts, along with a less-than-ideal 13.5% walk rate. With a SIERA a full three runs higher than his ERA, there is bound to be some regression coming here. However, with both the Mets and the White Sox on deck, Yamamoto shouldn't have too much trouble continuing to roll.
• Zach Plesac was just optioned back to AAA the Sunday before the All Star Break, but that seems to be a simple roster manipulation given that his services won't be required until the middle of next week. It certainly didn't help that he was shelled by the Orioles and the Royals in the two starts before the break, but prior to those two games he was on a dominant run. Between (and including) his debut on May 28th and his June 23rd start against the Tigers, he made six starts and posted a 2.33 ERA along with a 3-2 record. I'm banking on the time away from the big leagues getting his head right and him bouncing back against those same Tigers that he dominated in late June.
• Rick Porcello won a Cy Young Award just three seasons ago, but you certainly wouldn't guess that based on his 2019 performance. Porcello has been hit-or-miss over the course of the season — he's already matched last year's loss total (7) and has just eight quality starts in eighteen appearances. His season-long 5.33 ERA (the worst mark of his career) was jacked up in his last three starts before the All Star Break, as he yielded 17 earned runs across 12 innings. One of those starts was a 0.1-inning, six-ER mockery in London, and I'm fine writing that one off as a fluke, but in the other two he got lit up by the Jays and Tigers — not exactly baseball's elite. This week he gets those same Blue Jays and the Orioles, and despite the great matchups I need to see him toss a legitimate quality start before I'll feel comfortable trusting him against anyone.
