Starting Pitcher Chart – July 27th
Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness 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 it’s basically a risky 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.
- Update: Minutes after posting I saw that Lucas Giolito was traded to the Angels. This could spell trouble for my guy Silseth! Obviously he should still start tomorrow, but I’m a lottt less bullish on his fantasy prospects in the immediate future than I was just 10 minutes ago. If we’re being honest, it should be Tyler Anderson getting removed given his struggles this year. Well… maybe not. He has a 3.99 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 18% K-BB in his last 6 outings and of course he brings gifts and a various assortment of veteran presents. Enjoy the Detroit start with Silseth, but stay tuned to the news on whether or not he remains in the rotation afterwards.

| RK | PITCHER | TM | OPP | 10 | 12 | 15+ | IP | ERA | WHIP | K-BB | wOBA RK | NOTE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Justin Steele | CHC | at | STL | x | x | x | 103.2 | 2.95 | 1.11 | 18% | 7th | Traded in 2 pts of K rate to halve his BB rate down to 5% and the results have been absolutely fantastic |
| 2 | Dylan Cease | CHW | CLE | x | x | x | 113.2 | 4.04 | 1.31 | 19% | 10th | Has lowkey gotten himself on track w/a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 25% K-BB in 51 IP | |
| 3 | Kodai Senga | NYM | WSN | x | x | x | 99 | 3.27 | 1.26 | 18% | 18th | Walked 3+ in 8 of his first 9 (3.94 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 14% K-BB), just 3x in his last 9 (2.65, 1.02, 22%) | |
| 4 | Tanner Bibee | CLE | at | CHW | x | x | x | 83 | 3.04 | 1.19 | 16% | 27th | Looks dialed in again and isn’t coming out of the lineup; threw 133 IP in MiLB last yr so plenty in the tank |
| 5 | Chase Silseth | LAA | at | DET | x | x | x | 24.1 | 4.44 | 1.48 | 9% | 25th | Big fan of his; ranks near my guy C.Sanchez (mid-70s) & if he keeps the BB in check, he’s at least a team streamer everywhere |
| 6 | Miles Mikolas | STL | CHC | x | x | 126.2 | 4.33 | 1.31 | 11% | 7th | Has 2 yrs at $18.5 mil per so I doubt he’s going anywhere at the deadline; hit up last time but has been fine this yr | ||
| 7 | Patrick Sandoval | LAA | at | DET | x | x | 93 | 4.16 | 1.41 | 9% | 22nd | 4 good starts by ERA in his L5 but just 21 K and 12 BB in those outings (8 K/2 BB in the 7 ER dud) | |
| 8 | Josiah Gray | WSN | at | NYM | x | x | 112.1 | 3.45 | 1.44 | 10% | 9th | We’re nearing a decision pt w/guys like him where the risk might not be worth the upside, espec. those w/low Win probability | |
| 9 | Michael Lorenzen | DET | LAA | x | 100.2 | 3.49 | 1.09 | 13% | 12th | Has had trouble w/.500+ tms (5.87 ERA/1.49 WHIP) as opposed to dominance v. sub-.500 (2.02/0.85) | |||
| 10 | Matt Manning | DET | LAA | x | 36.2 | 3.19 | 1.01 | 9% | 12th | Putting up results w/a 2.52 ERA & 0.88 WHIP since his IL return (25 IP) but just a meager 9% K-BB |
Angels website says Ohtani and Sandoval vs. Tigers on Thursday, Silseth on Friday.
MLB.com has this as well.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Ohtani gets an XXX against the Tigers.
Yeah I’m seeing that now. Silseth is merked. But last night when I checked Rotowire after the deal, they had a note that the Angels would stay on schedule… but maybe that was just in reference to the weather delay, not the trade for Gio
