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 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.

WOW! How about today?! That was amazing.

Please forgive me for a commentary-free board tonight, I’m writing up today’s crazyyyy deadline though I unfortunately drew the short straw with the AL as I think the NL had the way more compelling moves from a fantasy perspective (keep an eye on Jakob Marsee in Miami!). The starter market wasn’t that crazy, but I still want to get my rankings updated very soon because while the movement might’ve been minimal at the top, there was plenty in the middle and low tiers.

Wednesday morning: Updated Matthews in for MIN and Alexander in for CHW

Check out my new-ish SP rankings here!

I’ll run an update after the Deadline if there’s a lot of meaningful movement, otherwise it’ll be closer to mid-August.

You ever have one of those nights where all your late nights just catch up to you and you crash way earlier than normal? I usually get one of those every 4-6 weeks and the most recent one hit last night. I saw Troy Melton’s scintillating performance against the D’Backs and even A.J. Hinch’s interview in the postgame, but that’s about the last thing I remember before crashing on the couch and eventually transferring to the bed hours later. All that to say, that’s why this is massively late and my apologies to those of you who use this for waiver pickups but it should still be useful for those making lineup decisions today (though there is a doubleheader w/TOR-BAL starting in a couple hours).
