Starting pitcher rankings for Monday, April 10th
Pitchers to stream
Kenta Maeda, Minnesota Twins — Maeda looks no worse for the wear after coming back from Tommy John surgery, blanking the Miami Marlins in his first start of 2023, and the Chicago White Sox are a far less intimidating proposition against right-handed starters. Maeda should be a good bet at pitcher-friendly Target Field.
Kyle Gibson, Baltimore Orioles — Gibson gave up just two runs in seven innings against the Texas Rangers last time out, and now he gets a dream matchup against the Oakland Athletics at Camden Yards. The O’s are comfortable pushing him past 100 pitches, making him a good bet for a win and quality start.
Jose Suarez, Los Angeles Angels — Suarez got roughed up by the Nationals in his first start of the season, but the Nationals and their (not particularly fearsome) lefty-heavy lineup shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge.
And now, without further ado, your full starting pitcher rankings for Monday, April 10th.
