[B]To the best of my knowledge all major services (espn.com, foxsports, yahoo, cbsports, etc.) use the same provider of starting lineups as MLB.com. MLB.com usually has lineups posted a few minutes before the others but that is not a steadfast rule. Their window is around an hour before game time but sometimes closer to a half hour.
You can also peruse the local newspapers for each team a couple of hours before game time. The Boston Globe is very good for this and only some of the others. Some local cable stations, like YES for the Yankees, also post earlier than MLB.com. This is a lot of work. I try to do it on the days when series end with a focus on a team that has the next day off. That is usually Wednesdays and Sundays, but waiting in front of a computer for lineups is often impossible on Sundays for family reasons.
Also, scoresandodds.com is reliable for the obvious ones.
I hope that info helps a little.
