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 17:

• CC Sabathia's self-rebuild is one of the more fascinating pitching evolutions that the MLB has seen in recent years. The former workhorse now essentially gets in, tosses five or six quality innings and gets out. He's clearly showing signs that the end is near, so his decision to retire at the end of this season is probably for the best. He is declining gracefully, though, and in the last month he's really flashed the numbers from yesteryear. Over his last four starts (3 against TB, one against TOR) he's compiled a 3.24 ERA with four quality starts, and an uncharacteristic 27 strikeouts in 25 innings. With his fastball averaging just 88 MPH in 2019, Sabathia has leaned heavily into his cutter and slider to avoid solid contact. The strikeouts are partially a result of his three starts against Tampa Bay, the team that sits fifth in the majors in strikeouts at the plate. I'm trusting Sabathia to continue to roll in a two-start week despite the tougher matchups against the Twins and Red Sox. I'm especially confident in his matchup against the Red Sox, who have just a .748 OPS against lefties as a team in 2019.
• Giants rookie Tyler Beede has quietly started to flex some fantasy potential over the last several weeks. While his season-long numbers are unimpressive, in his last five starts he's posted a 3-1 record with a 3.41 ERA, with quality starts in each of his three wins. Beede was never a strikeout machine at any level of the minors, but through 51.1 big-league innings he's posting a perfectly acceptable 21.4 strikeout percentage. The 26-year-old has only had two starts at home this year, so while there isn't a ton of data to indicate he's more comfortable at home, Oracle Park in San Francisco is dead last in the majors for park factors when it comes to runs. I'm rolling the dice with Beede as a streamer this week despite a matchup with a good Cubs offense.
• Dinelson Lamet has made only three starts since his return from Tommy John surgery, but he's already proving why he has a future as a fantasy asset. The big thing that stuck out about Lamet's debut season in 2017 was his outstanding strikeout rate. He K'd nearly a third of all batters he faced (28.7%), racking up 139 strikeouts in just 114 innings. His 2018 was lost to the aforementioned Tommy John surgery, but since returning in the beginning of July, Lamet has continued to display his prodigious strikeout potential. He has a 29.7% strikeout percentage through his first three starts, although the fact that he's given up four homers and six walks in just 14 innings is obviously problematic. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt given how recently he returned from his lengthy absence, and I'm starting him this week against a mediocre Mets offense. Here's hoping he can avoid a Pete Alonso bomb (or two). 
• Lucas Giolito was sprinting towards Cy Young consideration in May and June, stringing together eight straight wins at one point and whittling away his ERA to a microscopic 2.22 on June 14th. Since that start, a 10-1 win against the Yankees, Giolito has added a full run to his ERA (now 3.23) and gone 1-3 in five starts. During that eight-game win streak, Giolito pitched seven or more innings six times, thanks in large part to allowing just two total homers and 14 total walks over 57.1 innings. In the five starts since June 14th, he's given up four bombs (three of which came in one start) and walked 13 in just 14 innings. As impressive as his winning streak was, his current cold streak is disheartening. True, he's faced better offenses like the Cubs, Twins and Red Sox in that stretch, but quality of opponent doesn't account for this much regression. In another matchup against the Twins, who he actually shut out for five innings a couple weeks ago, I'm erring on the side of caution and benching Giolito given it's a one-start week.
