In addition to the pitchers at the bottom of our SP rankings (and, boy – there are some bad ones with bad matchups), you can pick on guys like Steven Matz and Jose Quintana with certain Colorado and Minnesota lefty-killers. Also, take note of the reverse-platoon fades and stacks below, particularly Blue Jays against Kevin Gausman. Anytime you can take advantage of a decent righthanded pitcher with righthanded batters, it’s a good way to differentiate your lineup.
