Justin Mason’s SP Ranks- June 27th, 2020
With baseball officially inching closer to an actual season, it is time to update draft ranks for those of you that are like me and still have leagues that still need to draft. I will likely be updating each set of ranks I release once or twice before opening day as news of the schedule, players opting out of the season, and other information could shake things up tremendously. However, here are my current starting pitcher ranks as of now. (Beginning of tiers are highlighted in blue)

Curious if he’s willing to bet Buehler ends at 1 (+800 for NL cy young) or if he’s just trying to be that analyst that looks back and strokes himself. Meaning he’s willing to risk much worse than 8 to 1 odds. Bet me! Haha
Why would anyone brag about getting a call right that’s so minimal? I get taking a victory lap on a guy that you were really high/low, but a 2-4 spot difference from consensus in the same tier is silly.
Because there won’t be another fantasy analyst that has him #1.
I know for a fact that is not correct
I really don’t care if he strokes himself as long as he washes afterwards.
