What time are MLB starting pitchers announced?

There is no set time for starting pitchers to be announced, however given the common 5-man rotation for pitchers, probable starting pitchers can be assumed in advance. Official MLB lineup cards are posted approximately 2-3 hours before each game.

Do you have to announce the starting pitcher?

There is no firm rule requiring major league teams to announce their starting pitcher. Starting pitchers become official when the manager submits his lineup card to the umpire 2-3 hours before first pitch.

What time do starting pitcher prop bets come out?

When a starting pitcher is known, pitching props can appear as early as midnight before a game the next day. Most player prop bets are live by 9 AM ET for games that day.

What pitching prop bets can you bet on?

The most popular starting pitcher prop bets are: total strikeouts, hits allowed, earned runs, total outs and walks. You can also wager on starting pitcher vs. pitcher props: most K’s, fewest hits, fewest HR’s and fewest bases.
