Starting Pitcher Chart – June 19th, 2024

John Jones-USA TODAY Sports

OK Jonathan Cannon, I wasn’t familiar with your game! He came an out shy of the shutout v. HOU, allowing just 7 hits and a walk with 4 Ks. Pablo López now has to rally at OAK this weekend after 4 IP/5 ER v. TBR. Shockingly Aaron Civale didn’t allow any HRs, but it didn’t drive any success as he couldn’t finish 4 IP. I sold Bailey Falter a bit short after back-to-back 4 IP outings. I didn’t give him enough credit for the excellent May (2.23 ERA in 5 starts), especially with a good matchup at home. With modest Ks, he will always need the contact to find gloves, but he’s gaining some deep league streamer viability.

2-Start Chart for the Week of June 17th

D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports

Kind of a weird board this week. There’s a small handful of locked in studs, but the questions start as early as Hicks at 11 with his 1.46 WHIP since May 1st (0.91 in April).

  • Olson gets the White Sox, but if the Braves smoke him, it might not matter.
  • Sánchez is a riskier version of Hicks, but resides on a great team which adds to his Win probability.
  • Harris and Marsh might actually need more love. I’m interested in both for 12s and deeper as well as some 10s, especially Marsh because the Royals win games.
  • Irvin has been awesome and I might have underrated him, too, due to the Coors trip. That said, the Rockies just aren’t that good at home, either.
  • Suárez has been amazing, but trips to NYY and HOU is tough.
  • Assad’s been good, but I still always have some nerves w/him.
