Starting Pitcher Chart – August 21st

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.

Thresholds open up a bit on Mondays, particularly in weekly lineup leagues where you have to commit for the 2-step on the weekend, but even in daily lineup leagues because you have the rest of the week to catch up if a gamble falls through… well, within reason… probably won’t be able to outrun a 10-run bomb or anything, but those are really rare anyway.

I wasn’t able to do notes and get the chart up in a timely manner so I just included the recommendations. I’ll answer any questions or have further discussion about anyone in the comments.

All of the 12/15 team recos are risky-but-viable throws in 10s if you’re chasing and Anderson to Thompson is the Hail Mary Zone as they’re all very risky streamers in even deep formats.
