| RK | PITCHER | GAME | 10 | 12 | 15+ | IP | ERA | WHIP | K-BB | wOBA RK L30/Season | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zack Wheeler | PHI at CHC | x | x | x | 105 | 2.73 | 0.98 | 19% | 21st/17th | |
| 2 | Chris Sale | ATL v SFG | x | x | x | 93 | 2.79 | 0.92 | 28% | 3rd/7th | Tough matchups for Sale & Gilby, but it’s not like we’re sitting them anywhere |
| 3 | Logan Gilbert | SEA v BAL | x | x | x | 112 | 2.72 | 0.88 | 19% | 1st/3rd | |
| 4 | Jared Jones | PIT v STL | x | x | x | 86 | 3.66 | 1.10 | 19% | 12th/11th | Skipped last wk just as part of his mgmt and I like that they did after a gem instead of a dud so he doesn’t marinate on the negative for a week+ |
| 5 | Shota Imanaga | CHC v PHI | x | x | x | 85 | 3.07 | 1.11 | 20% | 17th/5th | Realize inertia probably helped him such a high rank in the July update; should be closer to Jones (who I’d probably slot 3-5 higher, too) |
| 6 | Ryan Pepiot | TBR at KCR | x | x | x | 71 | 4.40 | 1.09 | 20% | 20th/13th | |
| 7 | Ronel Blanco | HOU at TOR | x | x | x | 90 | 2.49 | 1.01 | 13% | 17th/15th | |
| 8 | Gavin Stone | LAD v ARI | x | x | x | 89 | 2.73 | 1.12 | 13% | 8th/14th | |
| 9 | Brayan Bello | BOS at MIA | x | x | x | 71 | 5.55 | 1.47 | 11% | 30th/29th | If you can’t find the confidence to run him in MIA, it’s probably time to move on |
| 10 | David Festa | MIN v DET | x | x | x | 5 | 9.00 | 1.60 | 4% | 28th/26th | Not a “must-start” in all formats, but certainly startable if you’re streaming |
| 11 | Michael Wacha | KCR v TBR | x | x | x | 78 | 3.91 | 1.25 | 13% | 18th/24th | Just 11 ER in 7 starts since the 7 ER dud v. TEX on May 4th |
| 12 | Christian Scott | NYM at WSN | x | x | x | 27 | 3.90 | 1.08 | 17% | 24th/28th | Spent a month in AAA as part of his IP mgmt bc while he was still pitching, he avg’d just over 4 IP/start in his 4 outings… allowing just 1 ER in all of ’em |
| 13 | Gavin Williams | CLE v CHW | x | x | x | #N/A | #N/A | #N/A | #N/A | 25th/30th | First start of the season, but the cushiest landing spot possible |
| 14 | Carlos Rodón | NYY v CIN | x | x | 93 | 4.42 | 1.26 | 16% | 15th/25th | CIN isn’t as scary as HOU, but Rodón is also in worse form than Kikuchi lately, so add it all up… | |
| 15 | Yusei Kikuchi | TOR v HOU | x | x | 88 | 4.18 | 1.31 | 19% | 10th/7th | …and I have some nerves w/both, but I’m *mostly* starting them | |
| 16 | Erick Fedde | CHW at CLE | x | x | 100 | 3.23 | 1.14 | 16% | 9th/12th | CLE’s offense doesn’t mess around and Fedde does have a sharp home (1.64 ERA)/road (4.47) split so I can see some sits | |
| 17 | Joey Estes | OAK v LAA | x | x | 46 | 5.24 | 1.21 | 14% | 13th/18th | ||
| 18 | Jon Gray | TEX v SDP | x | 76 | 3.77 | 1.28 | 15% | 3rd/2nd | 2 mega duds in his L3, both v. good tms (NYM/BAL), but then his 6 IP/0 ER in between the 2 was also v. a good tm (KCR)… holding, but not necessarily starting | ||
| 19 | Jordan Hicks | SFG at ATL | x | 85 | 3.36 | 1.28 | 12% | 26th/16th | |||
| 20 | Mitchell Parker | WSN v NYM | x | 78 | 3.32 | 1.12 | 14% | 2nd/4th | The Mets are just eating EVERYONE’s lunch of late so while Parker just continues to impress, there are plenty of reasonable sits here | ||
| 21 | Dean Kremer | BAL at SEA | x | 50 | 4.32 | 1.12 | 15% | 19th/23rd | |||
| 22 | Davis Daniel | LAA at OAK | x | 8 | 0.00 | 0.50 | 31% | 27th/27th | Coming off 8 scoreless v. DET and now gets OAK… what a chance to start REALLY hot! | ||
| 23 | Miles Mikolas | STL at PIT | x | 94 | 5.32 | 1.25 | 13% | 24th/28th | Had found a groove (3.17 ERA in 8 starts) before CIN plastered him for 9 ER | ||
| 24 | Andrew Abbott | CIN at NYY | 89 | 3.41 | 1.20 | 11% | 11th/1st | ||||
| 25 | Trevor Rogers | MIA v BOS | 81 | 4.87 | 1.56 | 8% | 6th/9th | ||||
| 26 | Colin Rea | MIL at COL | 87 | 3.61 | 1.23 | 9% | 18th/14th | ||||
| 27 | Keider Montero | DET at MIN | 8 | 9.35 | 1.62 | 18% | 6th/10th | ||||
| 28 | Dakota Hudson | COL v MIL | 81 | 5.84 | 1.62 | 0% | 14th/5th | ||||
| 29 | Adam Mazur | SDP at TEX | 22 | 7.25 | 1.84 | -6% | 29th/22nd | ||||
| 30 | TBD | ARI at LAD | #N/A | #N/A | #N/A | #N/A | 7th/4th |
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.
