Starting Pitcher Chart – May 23rd, 2025
Daily SP Chart archive
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.
Pardon the mostly note-less board tonight. I wasn’t able to get things started before catching a movie tonight (Friendship… really liked it, definitely delivered if you’re already a Tim Robinson fan!!) and I’m just beat at this late hour so after the first couple I just hit a wall for the night. As always, I’ll respond to comments if you have questions on specific guys and if I can get some time after the podcast in the morning, I’ll add some comments. I’ll also run a board-only ranking for the weekend again this week. The site at large is dark for Memorial Day so a Monday board is TBD but I really hate to miss a Monday w/the 2-start board (except this week 🙈) and I don’t have any grand plans for Monday so it shooould be business as usual for the chart even if I call it a half-holiday and go board only that day, too.
