2-Start Chart for the Week of September 2nd
by Paul Sporer
September 2, 2024
We have a star-studded board to open up September so we could see some strong pitching scores this week. There is definitely some risk in the streaming tiers, but that’s always the case. It just feels more severe because we have so little time left in the season (last gm is Sept. 29th) so every dud feels more impactful. Trust your decisions, realize that they won’t all work, and don’t let a bad start make you reluctant to keep streaming if that’s your best path to scaling the standings.
If you have questions about anyone else, leave me a comment!

Pitch+ is the Pitching+ stat. Here’s a primer on it.
Did you forget Ryne Nelson?
I did, I overlooked him when slotting in Arizona. Only pulled in Eduardo. Ryne is a must-start for me, ranking just under Peralta.
Thank you sir
