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.

I had a little issue last night with some foot swelling so I was laid up for a good part of the evening. Swelling is not just down but completely gone this morning so hopefully it was just a blip! Apologies to those of you who use this for pickups because I know that requires a night-before release, but I just ended up falling asleep after elevating the foot while watching the Tigers game. Everything should be good tonight for Wednesday’s board.

Updates:

• Brown in for Horton, still just 1-x reco
• Assad in now… c’mon Chicago, make a choice! 😂
• Y’all are right on Wacha, 1-x is crazy work… updated him to full 3-x reco
• Also agree on Baz skepticism (consider he & Wacha switched in ranks – Wacha to 9, Baz to 16)

With just 4 games, I figured I’d just write ’em up really quick.

I know I’m hitting y’all with another commentary-free board, but there was a huge internet outage in the greater Austin area that ate up my prime writing time. At least I still had cell service so I went retro and fell asleep on the couch listening to baseball on the radio. I woke up to find the internet back on and at least wanted to get a board up before heading to bed.
