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.

Monday Morning Notes:

• Cody Bradford is in for TEX with Dunning moving to Tuesday. The 25-year-old lefty has put up good numbers in his pro career with a 21% K-BB in 255 IP, though projects as more of a backend crafty lefty. I’m not picking up right away anyway as I’m not even sure this is more than a spot start.
• Wood is returning from the IL as many commenters pointed out & I should’ve keyed in on that more as it could limit his IP in this outing especially. I’m still starting him in weekly lgs to get the full 2-step (MIA this wknd), but I’m totally fine passing in daily moves leagues as this could be a 3-4 IP outing.

In past seasons I’ve done this Daily SP Chart down the stretch and invariably there are comments asking why I don’t do it all season. I’ve never really had a great answer for that so now I’m doing it!

Once the season gets going, the chart will include their performance over the last five starts (for the first few weeks, it’ll be their 2023 stats), their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness, my start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. The opponent wOBA will remain blank for a while until we get some data and because there is so much lineup turnover year-to-year, I’m not going to include last year’s mark. I’ll start including wOBA data on April 17th.

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.

Getting my schedule back on track this week so the charts will be back the night before instead of morning of. There will be occasional times in-season when it’s early the following morning, but the expectation is late night the day before.

New Feature Alert: I’ve added a chart of the previous night’s starters with a quick hit take on their performance. That way I don’t have to wait 5 days to give insight on how it went. Let me know what you think about it!
