Starting Pitcher Chart – September 11th

Matt Marton-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.

Starter Notes September 11, 2023
RK PITCHER GAME 10 12 15+ IP ERA WHIP K-BB wOBA RK L30/Season NOTE
1 Tyler Glasnow TBR at MIN x x x 99 3.07 1.02 27% 5th/7th
2 Brandon Woodruff MIL v MIA x x x 47 2.30 0.79 24% 15th/23rd
3 Logan Gilbert SEA v LAA x x x 167 3.61 1.07 21% 28th/9th LAA has damn near an entire lineup on the IL
4 Framber Valdez HOU v OAK x x x 174 3.30 1.11 17% 23rd/28th
5 Jesús Luzardo MIA at MIL x x x 155 3.59 1.20 21% 8th/19th Rolled through a tough trio of matchups w/a 1.00 ERA, 0.61 WHIP, and 27% K-BB v. SDP-TBR-LAD
6 Sonny Gray MIN v TBR x x x 163 2.98 1.17 16% 7th/4th Catching TEX in a vulnerable spot
7 Chris Bassitt TOR v TEX x x x 173 3.69 1.18 15% 18th/3rd
8 José Quintana NYM v ARI x x x 54 3.00 1.26 8% 20th/22nd He’s been great outside of the start at ATL that you were never using in the first place
9 Clarke Schmidt NYY at BOS x x x 140 4.54 1.32 17% 8th/5th Must start in weeklies to get at PIT this wknd, likely to play it more cautiously in a daily for this one
10 Gavin Williams CLE at SFG x x 70 3.34 1.26 14% 29th/20th
11 Alex Cobb SFG v CLE x x 144 3.74 1.32 15% 26th/22nd
12 Kutter Crawford BOS v NYY x x 107 4.36 1.16 17% 30th/27th I love the arm and will be in for ’24, but not exactly thrilled to run this 2-step (at TOR this wknd)
13 Andre Jackson PIT v WSN x x 46 5.21 1.22 15% 20th/25th
14 Charlie Morton ATL at PHI x x 151 3.32 1.38 15% 1st/8th Wins chasers who can’t get hurt too much by bad WHIP
15 Dean Kremer BAL v STL x x 154 4.07 1.29 14% 10th/6th
16 Gavin Stone LAD v SDP x 18 10.50 2.28 2% 16th/18th Excellent at AAA after his last demotion and I’m willing to take on this spot start
17 Jordan Wicks CHC at COL x 16 2.16 1.20 13% 21st/29th I’m open to taking the Coors gamble in weeklies in order to secure the 2-step (at ARI this wknd)
18 Dane Dunning TEX at TOR x 146 3.88 1.27 11% 12th/12th
19 Reid Detmers LAA at SEA x 130 4.82 1.40 16% 4th/15th Alllllways a nerve-wracking start and no 2-step to soften the blow in weeklies
20 Dylan Cease CHW v KCR x 153 4.98 1.48 16% 19th/26th Has just 2 good starts since August 1st (7.86 ERA),,, good luck!
21 Brady Singer KCR at CHW x 148 5.34 1.42 13% 27th/30th
22 Patrick Corbin WSN at PIT x 158 5.23 1.51 9% 17th/20th
23 Kyle Wright ATL at PHI 18 5.79 1.77 11% 1st/8th Speculation is he’ll be up for the DH but I can’t see this being a viable start… maybe hold for later
24 Mason Miller OAK at HOU 23 3.09 0.90 20% 2nd/11th
25 Michael Lorenzen PHI v ATL 143 3.95 1.17 11% 3rd/1st
26 Pedro Avila SDP at LAD 37 2.19 1.35 12% 6th/2nd
27 Dakota Hudson STL at BAL 61 4.43 1.36 4% 9th/16th
28 Zach Davies ARI at NYM 71 6.81 1.60 8% 13th/17th
29 Taijuan Walker PHI v ATL 147 4.15 1.32 10% 3rd/1st
30 Kyle Freeland COL v CHC 146 5.09 1.47 8% 19th/16th
