The chart includes their performance for 2025, their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s a much riskier stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more valuable focusing on roto.

We had some absolutely crazyyyy weather here in Austin last night so I didn’t get around to writing up today’s short slate.
Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks for the chat as always. Hoping you could rank these SP ROS in 12tm mixed QS roto: Megill, Gonsolin, Cecconi, Darvish, Dobbins, Misiorowski
1:11
Paul Sporer: That’s close to my order, though sight unseen I think I gotta move Darvish to last right now despite being a huge fan of him overall. Just not sure he can be trusted right now and then even when he does come back, are we gonna get many 6 IP starts?
1:11
Guest: Santander admits he’s still trying to plow through 2 injuries, and I’m over here really losing patience with the lack of an IL stint, but is Grisham still the drop if I’m over-outfielded?
1:15
Paul Sporer: I’m trying to be better at not just holding through lost causes but I also know we have to be careful not to overreact. That said, it’s June later this wk and he’s well below .200 AVG with a sub-20 HR pace… I think at this juncture Santander is the cut. While Grisham likely won’t keep this pace, his surge isn’t completely outta nowhere so I like holding him instead of Santander right now

Just writing up the 1 and 2-x guys tonight! Will answer questions on anyone else if you have them, though.

The site is dark Monday for Memorial Day, but I had to get y’all at least a board-only post. I think I’m starting Gav Williams in weekly lineup 15-team leagues to get the 2-step. I am terrified because even during this run with a 2.25 ERA in his last 4 starts, he still has a 1.45 WHIP. Hopefully he can build on his 3 BB over the last two starts after 17 BB in the previous 24 IP (4 starts).
