Starting Pitcher Chart – June 2nd

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Daily SP Chart archive

The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness over the last 30 days, 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 basically a risky 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 value focusing on roto.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – May 31st, 2023

Transcript is available!

1:02

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!

1:02

Guest: Ward or Wisdom OBP ROS

1:03

Paul Sporer: No need to think that far ahead w/these guys. Most ROS questions put too much pressure on thinking you’ll definitely keep the guy that long. I’m still leaning Ward there despite the slow start

1:03

Jimmy Neutron Star: I scooped Jake McCarthy as a Mullins replacement. He finally live up to his draft ranking?

1:03

Paul Sporer: He certainly can. I was in on trying to get him on the wire this week after passing at his draft cost

1:07

Warren: Paredes or Gimenez ROS? 7×7 XBH + OPS

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out!

1:01

Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks as always for the chat. Are we ready to move on from Taylor Ward in 12tm roto? Starting to lose PT, maybe it’ll be a ss platoon eventually, but it’s looking grim

1:02

Paul Sporer: Yes, unfortunately. Just no pop & now not playing. Loved him coming into the season but it’s just not working right now

1:03

Kate: 1 catcher OBP dynasty league.  Need to drop one of Grandal, Garver or Elias Diaz when Garver is activated.  Who’s your drop?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Probably Garv, wanna ride out the Diaz hot streak

1:03

Tiger Beat: I’ve been trying to ride the hot hand between Andy Ibanez and Nick Maton, but I’m losing. Do you like either in an OBP league?
