11	Michael Wacha	KCR v ARI	x	x	x	96	3.55	1.20	14%	9th/12th
12	Zach Eflin	TBR at TOR	x	x	x	104	4.14	1.17	16%	18th/17th	Maybe not the Auto Start he was last yr, but still has appeal, especially in anything close to a good matchup
13	Nick Pivetta	BOS at COL		x	x	81	3.87	1.09	23%	15th/16th	Per usual I’ll never blame anyone for taking Coors off w/their non-aces
14	Mitchell Parker	WSN v SDP		x	x	92	3.90	1.14	15%	7th/22nd
15	Ryne Nelson	ARI at KCR		x	x	92	4.78	1.39	12%	21st/13th	Found his form after 6 ER dud v. MIN w/2.22 ERA/0.87 WHIP/19% K-BB in his L4 incl. trips to LAD and SDP
16	Yariel Rodríguez	TOR v TBR		x	x	34	3.67	1.37	12%	25th/26th	Only 4 IP last time out, but 1.62 ERA/0.86 WHIP/19% K-BB in his L3 and coming off a 10-day break to recharge
17	Sean Manaea	NYM at NYY			x	101	3.73	1.24	13%	18th/15th	MIA of all tms spoiled his splendid run but even w/those 5 ER included, he has a 3.42 ERA in his L7
18	Matthew Liberatore	STL at PIT			x	52	4.15	1.21	11%	25th/21st	Been almost a month since his last start so not sure if he’ll be limited; streamable though
19	Griffin Canning	LAA at SEA			x	105	5.20	1.42	8%	28th/27th	Slated for Wed. and while I do have a hard time quitting him, I’m still a little cautious even w/the great matchup
20	Chayce McDermott	BAL at MIA			x	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	29th/29th	BAL #2 P prospect behind Povich gets a cushy landing for his MLB debut, but the 15% BB over his last 5 MiLB stops keeps from diving in headfirst even at MIA… be careful
21	JP Sears	OAK v HOU			x	106	4.49	1.28	11%	14th/11th	HOU might take advantage of his 1.4 HR9 and slow his recent hot stretch: 2.42 ERA/1.09 WHIP/22% K-BB
22	Cal Quantrill	COL v BOS				108	4.15	1.34	9%	1st/2nd
23	Louie Varland	MIN v PHI				26	6.58	1.65	12%	6th/6th	Liked him a lot preseason, but his known HR issue was joined by hits issue as he’s struggled to find success even at AAA; watchlist only right now… if even gets this start, given it is unconfirmed as of now
24	Edward Cabrera	MIA v BAL				33	7.36	1.67	15%	8th/3rd
25	Joe Ross	MIL at CHC				42	4.50	1.38	10%	11th/14th	Could be returning from the 60-day IL on Wednesday; keep tabs on him & if he starts throwing well again, he might have stream potential
26	Robbie Ray	SFG at LAD				#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	22nd/1st	1st start since March 31st, 2023; I’m fine picking him up, but definitely not starting yet
27	Frankie Montas	CIN at ATL				89	4.85	1.36	9%	27th/20th
28	Chris Flexen	CHW at TEX				101	5.22	1.40	8%	22nd/22nd
29	Martín Pérez	PIT v STL				77	5.61	1.66	10%	16th/29th
30	Allan Winans	ATL v CIN				5	10.80	2.00	-4%	5th/19th

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 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.
