Starting Pitcher Chart – April 28th, 2025
Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their performance for 2025 (I changed over from 2024 #s on April 15th — a little earlier than last yr), their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this changed as of April 14th which is still a pretty small sample, but we can start attacking some cold lineups or be more careful with those performing well 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 basically a 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 value focusing on roto.
No commentary on Monday’s board, but happy to answer any questions in the comments below!

Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues
TYPE Key:
1 – Auto-Start | 2 – All Formats | 3 – Most Formats |
4 – Some Formats | 5 – YOLO | 6 – Hard Pass
Would you start Collin Rea at Coors this week?
I would not, but he isn’t pitching at Coors this week.
Maaaaybe in a deep lg. At PIT isn’t bad, but Rea is risky v. anyone
What is the Type col in start board?
check the key at the bottom of the board!
Think Wheeler lines up for a two step this week (presumably he’d be near the top)
The Probables Grid under RosterResource (drop-down above) has the Phillies with a 6-man rotation and Wheeler not going again until next week. We’ll see whether or not Sanchez makes his start on Wed. If not, it’s not hard to imagine them just going 5-man and Wheeler getting the Sunday start against the DBacks.
Thanks!
12T for Sears against Texas but no play for AJSS even though its in Col?
