Starting Pitcher Chart – July 7th, 2025

Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their performance for 2025, their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far, 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 a much riskier 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 valuable focusing on roto.
2-Start Chart will be added in the morning

8 | José Berríos | TOR at CHW | x | x | x | 106 | 3.64 | 1.24 | 13% | 30th | Perfect matchup to build a nice base before heading to ATH on the wknd |
9 | Brady Singer | CIN v MIA | x | x | x | 88 | 4.36 | 1.34 | 11% | 17th | MIA/COL coming to Cincy is a fantastic setup for him |
10 | Richard Fitts | BOS v COL | x | x | x | 28 | 4.50 | 1.25 | 11% | 27th | Solid in 7 IP since his return, but that’s 4 and 3 IP starts |
11 | Noah Cameron | KCR v PIT | x | x | x | 56 | 2.56 | 1.01 | 11% | 28th | Has topped 90 pitches just 2x making mostly a 5-and-dive so more a ratio streamer |
12 | Andrew Heaney | PIT at KCR | x | x | x | 93 | 4.16 | 1.20 | 10% | 25th | Good chance to stay hot w/a trip to KCR |
13 | Shane Baz | TBR at DET | x | x | 97 | 4.33 | 1.25 | 15% | 9th | Baz-Bibee are really tough calls given their matchups; Baz is much better on the road at least (2.91 ERA/1.09 WHIP) | |
14 | Zac Gallen | ARI at SDP | x | x | 104 | 5.45 | 1.37 | 13% | 22nd | Just as a bunch of ppl finally cut him in deeper formats, he has an amazing 10-K start… can he keep it going v. this modest SDP lineup? | |
15 | Janson Junk | MIA at CIN | x | 37 | 3.62 | 1.13 | 21% | 7th | Bounced back after a dud at SFG and he’s truly been excellent outside of his 2 duds | ||
16 | Landen Roupp | SFG v PHI | x | 85 | 3.48 | 1.48 | 11% | 8th | Lucky to have a 1.19 ERA in his L3 w/a horrendous 1.59 WHIP tied to it | ||
17 | Tanner Bibee | CLE at HOU | x | 98 | 4.20 | 1.24 | 14% | 16th | Maybe the righty-heavy HOU lineup will favor him? (85 pt. OPS split) | ||
18 | Sean Burke | CHW v TOR | 87 | 4.03 | 1.40 | 9% | 15th | ||||
19 | Keider Montero | DET v TBR | 56 | 4.02 | 1.39 | 8% | 6th | ||||
