Starting Pitcher Chart – July 23rd, 2024
- Daily SP Chart archive
- Check out the July SP Rankings (NEWish!)
I only wrote up the guys with 1-2 x’s. The 3 x’s are either locked studs or capable streamers with great matchups and most of the 0 x’s are easy skips. That said, I’ll gladly answer any questions if you want further discussion on anyone.

| 7 | Jon Gray | TEX v CHW | x | x | x | 86 | 3.96 | 1.32 | 14% | 30th/30th | |
| 8 | José Soriano | LAA at SEA | x | x | x | 87 | 3.71 | 1.20 | 11% | 28th/27th | |
| 9 | Albert Suárez | BAL at MIA | x | x | x | 70 | 2.82 | 1.24 | 10% | 29th/29th | |
| 10 | José Berríos | TOR v TBR | x | x | x | 119 | 4.01 | 1.18 | 11% | 25th/26th | |
| 11 | Jameson Taillon | CHC v MIL | x | x | 93 | 3.10 | 1.16 | 15% | 20th/7th | Fantastic over his L7: 2.68 ERA/0.95 WHIP in 43.7 IP, falling just an out shy of 7 straight QS; MIL scary enough that he’s not must-start | |
| 12 | Simeon Woods Richardson | MIN v PHI | x | x | 82 | 3.51 | 1.15 | 14% | 6th/6th | Has allowed more than 3 ER just once in his L11 (and it was just 4) along w/a 21% K-BB in that time so while PHI is tough, I’m open to a lot of SWR streams | |
| 13 | Landon Knack | LAD v SFG | x | 39 | 3.23 | 1.05 | 16% | 23rd/23rd | Pitching well, but sub-5 IP in each of his L3 which undercuts a key driver of his value: the W upside; he did follow for 4.3 IP in his latest outing | ||
| 14 | Lance Lynn | STL at PIT | x | x | 96 | 4.39 | 1.39 | 13% | 14th/28th | HR issues give him a REALLY severe downside, but it’s a solid matchup and he did bounce back well after the 10 ER dud at WSN | |
| 15 | Colin Rea | MIL at CHC | x | 105 | 3.77 | 1.21 | 10% | 11th/14th | I’d love for MIL to keep using an opener in front of him, but it’s been very sporadic (3x in his L10 appearances) | ||
| 16 | Alec Marsh | KCR v ARI | x | 91 | 4.52 | 1.23 | 14% | 9th/12th | Deep league streaming appeal, but he can be pretty volatile | ||
| 17 | Jake Bloss | HOU at OAK | x | 7 | 4.70 | 1.57 | 11% | 16th/24th | Pure matchup play w/some decent W potential | ||
| 18 | Jordan Montgomery | ARI at KCR | x | 65 | 6.44 | 1.68 | 7% | 26th/19th | Good matchup if you want to YOLO it off the IL w/Monty | ||
| 19 | Jose Quintana | NYM at NYY | x | 102 | 4.13 | 1.26 | 10% | 18th/15th | NYY still scares me enough to mostly avoid despite his recent success: 3.25 ERA/1.07 WHIP/14% K-BB in his L11 | ||
| 20 | Randy Vásquez | SDP at WSN | 63 | 4.57 | 1.56 | 10% | 3rd/15th | WSN is a sneaky deece matchup so I’m probably passing here | |||
| 21 | Jordan Hicks | SFG at LAD | 95 | 3.79 | 1.36 | 11% | 12th/4th | Now running a 6.08 ERA/1.78 WHIP combo in his L8, raising his season ERA by 1.46 | |||
| 22 | DJ Herz | WSN v SDP | 31 | 5.17 | 1.40 | 23% | 7th/22nd | Just a super volatile streamer so if you’re kinda YOLO’ing it to get back in the race, I can see throwing him for the K upside | |||
| 23 | Cooper Criswell | BOS at COL | 58 | 4.03 | 1.26 | 14% | 15th/16th | ||||
| 24 | Tyler Alexander | TBR at TOR | 56 | 6.19 | 1.34 | 14% | 20th/26th | ||||
| 25 | Xzavion Curry | CLE v DET | 17 | 5.19 | 1.27 | 12% | 13th/21st | ||||
| 26 | Nick Martinez | CIN at ATL | 72 | 3.88 | 1.13 | 16% | 27th/20th | ||||
| 27 | Osvaldo Bido | OAK v HOU | 18 | 3.44 | 1.25 | 6% | 10th/8th | ||||
| 28 | Joey Wentz | DET at CLE | 39 | 5.22 | 1.69 | 12% | 10th/8th | ||||
| 29 | Kyle Tyler | MIA v BAL | 16 | 3.38 | 1.19 | 3% | 8th/3rd | ||||
| 30 | Ty Blach | COL v BOS | 59 | 5.46 | 1.58 | 7% | 29th/17th |
The chart includes their 2024 stats (this changed over from last year’s stats on April 22nd), their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th), 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.
