Starting Pitcher Chart – August 22nd, 2024

Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports

We had Hurter listed for Detroit tomorrow, but he’s pitching right now–well, he just got merked by a comebacker right as I’m typing this. He taking some warmup pitches and seems no more Hurter than he was prior to today, but the bottom line is that he’s NOT pitching tomorrow. Maybe it’ll just be Maeda who was slated for tonight (Wednesday) originally?

Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues

The chart includes their 2024 stats (this changed over from last year’s stats on April 22nd), their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th) and 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 that just means it is a riskier stream as the league gets shallower.

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 and then you can generally expand these recommendations a bit for points leagues.
