Starting Pitcher Chart – June 10th, 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.
Getting this one done from the airport… I’ll be home later this morning so the SP Chart should be back to normal the rest of the week!

| RK | PITCHER | GAME | 10 | 12 | 15+ | IP | ERA | WHIP | K-BB | 2025 wOBA RK | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Max Fried | NYY at KCR | x | x | x | 81 | 1.78 | 0.94 | 18% | 24th | Just an amazing start to his Yankee career so far |
| 2 | Bryan Woo | SEA at ARI | x | x | x | 76 | 3.07 | 0.96 | 19% | 2nd | |
| 3 | Ryan Pepiot | TBR at BOS | x | x | x | 76 | 3.20 | 1.13 | 14% | 7th | |
| 4 | MacKenzie Gore | WSN at NYM | x | x | x | 75 | 2.87 | 1.14 | 28% | 10th | |
| 5 | Lance McCullers Jr. | HOU v CHW | x | x | x | 24 | 4.44 | 1.40 | 18% | 30th | It’s so great seeing him absolutely dialed in right now: 2.80 ERA/1.06 WHIP/32% K-BB in his L3 |
| 6 | Andrew Abbott | CIN at CLE | x | x | x | 53 | 2.18 | 1.06 | 19% | 26th | Came unglued a bit after 2 perfect IP to open the start; I still have some general skepticism but this matchup is too good to pass |
| 7 | Dylan Cease | SDP v LAD | x | x | x | 68 | 4.72 | 1.31 | 21% | 1st | LAD is very scary, but Cease has been on fire after a tough Apr with a 3.92 ERA/1.08 WHIP/24% K-BB in 39 IP |
| 8 | Grant Holmes | ATL at MIL | x | x | x | 67 | 3.99 | 1.20 | 14% | 26th | Skipping ARI was the right move even after his big May (3.24 ERA/1.11 WHIP/19% K-BB in 36.3 IP) but I’m locked in for this one and the 2-step next wk (NYM, at MIA) |
| 9 | Tyler Mahle | TEX at MIN | x | x | x | 71 | 2.02 | 1.07 | 10% | 13th | It’s like a Jack-in-the-Box where you’ve spinning the crank for a while and you knooowww it’s gonna pop soon, but you keep spinning; while I share and understand the concerns about his .235 BABIP, 84% LOB, and 4% HR/FB, he does have the 4th-highest Location+, showing he’s not completely smoke & mirrors and if he gets thru this clean, he’s lined up for CHW and PIT after that |
| 10 | Griffin Canning | NYM v WSN | x | x | 59 | 2.90 | 1.32 | 12% | 17th | And then this Jack-in-the-Box just dominated at LAD, reinstalling confidence after B2B 4 BB outings incl. 1 v. CHW | |
| 11 | Shane Smith | CHW at HOU | x | x | 62 | 2.45 | 1.14 | 13% | 24th | Just continues to churn out good starts despite the meager 1-2 record | |
| 12 | Mitch Keller | PIT v MIA | x | x | 76 | 4.13 | 1.27 | 13% | 19th | Was running a 2.90 ERA in 5 starts before spoiling it last time out (6 ER), though v. HOU was skippable so I’m reluctant to him it against him too hard | |
| 13 | Chris Bassitt | TOR at STL | x | 73 | 3.56 | 1.32 | 18% | 8th | |||
| 14 | Mitch Spence | ATH at LAA | x | 44 | 4.09 | 1.27 | 14% | 21st | |||
| 15 | Sawyer Gipson-Long | DET at BAL | x | 3 | 7.36 | 1.64 | 13% | 10th | I’d take on the 2-start even acknowledging it might only be ~8 IP; showed some good things in his season debut and if he gets 75-80 pitches, he can get thru 5 w/that | ||
| 16 | Quinn Priester | MIL v ATL | x | 55 | 3.88 | 1.31 | 4% | 15th | I remain intrigued despite the modest 7% K-BB during his recent run (2.52 ERA/1.00 WHIP) | ||
| 17 | Sandy Alcantara | MIA at PIT | x | 57 | 7.89 | 1.58 | 5% | 27th | Solid v. COL and this is a great matchup, too, but just keep your expectations in check as this is still a low-upside play | ||
| 18 | Colin Rea | CHC at PHI | W | 57 | 3.59 | 1.35 | 11% | 14th | Just be aware of the ratio risk you’re taking on here, this should be more of a Wins chase | ||
| 19 | Mick Abel | PHI v CHC | 11 | 0.79 | 0.71 | 27% | 4th | 1 elite start, 1 good start does not an ace make and CHC remains aces-only | |||
| 20 | Miles Mikolas | STL v TOR | 61 | 3.96 | 1.27 | 7% | 20th | ||||
| 21 | Noah Cameron | KCR v NYY | 31 | 0.85 | 0.79 | 8% | 1st | 5 straight QS to start his career has been awesome to watch, but this matchup screams regression as his 8% K-BB is legitmately bad | |||
| 22 | Brandon Pfaadt | ARI v SEA | 65 | 5.51 | 1.36 | 12% | 12th | Even if you remove the 8 ER gm where he didn’t record an out, he still has a 7.22 ERA in his L4 | |||
| 23 | Kyle Harrison | SFG at COL | 18 | 4.34 | 1.29 | 15% | 29th | ||||
| 24 | José Soriano | LAA v ATH | 72 | 4.11 | 1.59 | 5% | 9th | ||||
| 25 | Slade Cecconi | CLE v CIN | 20 | 4.87 | 1.43 | 15% | 6th | ||||
| 26 | Lucas Giolito | BOS v TBR | 33 | 6.42 | 1.63 | 11% | 11th | ||||
| 27 | Bobby Miller | LAD at SDP | 5 | 12.60 | 2.60 | 18% | 22nd | ||||
| 28 | Cade Povich | BAL v DET | 56 | 5.11 | 1.47 | 15% | 7th | ||||
| 29 | Simeon Woods Richardson | MIN v TEX | 37 | 5.02 | 1.54 | 13% | 29th | ||||
| 30 | Carson Palmquist | COL v SFG | 18 | 8.50 | 1.83 | 5% | 23rd |
