Starter Notes June 12, 2024

RK	PITCHER	GAME	10	12	15+	IP	ERA	WHIP	K-BB	wOBA RK L30/Season	NOTE
1	Framber Valdez	HOU at SFG	x	x	x	63	3.53	1.15	13%	3rd/15th	One bad IP v. LAA is the only interruption in his L6: 3.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 13% K-BB in 41 IP
2	Logan Webb	SFG v HOU	x	x	x	86	2.92	1.20	15%	4th/5th	Back in a groove and I can’t wait to watch these 2 duel! (2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 19% K-BB in 40 IP)
3	Bryce Miller	SEA v CHW	x	x	x	75	3.81	1.02	17%	26th/30th	A much-needed reprieve in opposition after a run of at BAL, at NYY, HOU, LAA, at KCR (5.72 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 12% K-BB in 28 IP); I like him to get right here
4	Tanner Bibee	CLE at CIN	x	x	x	70	3.73	1.19	19%	11th/21st	Righted the ship over his L5 w/a 2.12 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 22% K-BB
5	Sonny Gray	STL v PIT	x	x	x	61	3.21	1.07	25%	18th/29th	2+ BB in each of his L5 has left his results on the knife’s edge: 4.44 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 22% K-BB… he’s a rotation staple, though
6	Nick Pivetta	BOS v PHI	x	x	x	42	3.40	0.94	26%	17th/8th	Revenge game is a nice challenge as he looks to stay hot after dominance v. ATL (7
7	Michael King	SDP v OAK	x	x	x	78	3.58	1.22	16%	28th/26th	Steady waters of late: 1.90 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 17% K-BB in L4; hopefully you held through the choppiness early on
8	Nick Lodolo	CIN v CLE	x	x	x	52	2.92	0.99	21%	13th/12th	Rolling since his return from the IL, falling just 2 outs shy of 3 QS w/16 Ks and just 3 BB
9	Pablo López	MIN v COL	x	x	x	71	5.45	1.23	21%	15th/19th	This is now 3 flameouts in his L4, but the 4th was 7 IP/1 ER at HOU so he’s all over the place… espec. after 6 BB in NYY; all that said I’m betting on his 21% K-BB and hoping that Colorado is the Rx he needs
10	Reese Olson	DET v WSN	x	x	x	65	3.43	1.20	13%	25th/22nd	Trounced in his last 2 (13 ER) and yet I have a tough time sitting him here; still had an 11/2 K:BB in those duds and the velo & spin profiles are in line… stay the course
11	José Soriano	LAA at ARI	x	x	x	64	3.64	1.21	11%	16th/23rd	Sub-10% SwStr in 3 of his L4, but the surface results remain steady (3.51 ERA, 1.11 WHIP)
12	Chris Bassitt	TOR at MIL	x	x	x	73	3.80	1.38	13%	9th/2nd	MIL is tough, but he’s absolutely rolling: 2.51 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 16% K-BB in L7 (43 IP)
13	Walker Buehler	LAD v TEX	x	x	x	28	4.82	1.46	15%	30th/14th	Definitely not himself right now and yet TEX is a hot matchup right now so I’m inclined to stay the course
14	David Peterson	NYM v MIA	x	x	x	11	3.09	1.29	4%	25th/27th	Meager 4% K-BB hasn’t curbed results and MIA presents a good chance to keep getting away, but eventually he’ll need to improve to remain viable
15	Cristopher Sánchez	PHI at BOS	x	x	x	66	2.71	1.34	14%	17th/7th	Took some time settle and it’s always tough in Fenway, but he’s toting a 1.48 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 18% K-BB in his L3
16	Jake Irvin	WSN at DET	x	x	x	75	3.12	1.03	17%	12th/20th	Biggest hiccups were skippable (at LAD, at PHI — would’ve missed the 6 scoreless v. LAD, too), but I’m starting to gain confidence in even tougher setups… definitely playable everywhere at DET
17	Hogan Harris	OAK at SDP		x	x	20	2.21	1.13	12%	21st/3rd	Scooped him in the Main Event after somce nice work in 2 starts since joining the rotation… not a must start bc I still respect SDP’s offense, just don’t overlook him
18	Bailey Falter	PIT at STL		x	x	68	3.69	1.04	10%	24th/10th	May hot streak couldn’t carry into June after LAD start; worth a look at STL
19	Jon Gray	TEX at LAD			x	59	2.12	1.18	17%	22nd/4th	Not confirmed here after a 9-out relief app. in his return from the IL; I’m OK skipping this even w/LAD sputtering in the L30 days
20	Cody Poteet	NYY at KCR			x	15	1.72	0.96	11%	10th/9th	On the radar after this nice run, but let’s be careful against a very solid KCR lineup… tough part is Cole takes his spot so probably needn’t hold if you’ve got him
21	Braxton Garrett	MIA at NYM			x	26	5.81	1.22	18%	5th/16th	He’s run the gamut since returning w/a shutty at ARI and 3 starts of 5+ ER… intriguing STL/SEA 2-step next wk if he excels here
22	Cade Povich	BAL v ATL			x	5	10.13	1.69	-8%	16th/11th	This will be a really interesting matchup as both rookies have upside that could pay dividends given their strong supporting casts… startable, but high-risk
23	Spencer Schwellenbach	ATL at BAL			x	9	8.38	1.55	13%	5th/6th
24	Tobias Myers	MIL v TOR			x	34	4.15	1.24	13%	6th/13th	Had the Tigers off balance all day w/only 3 batted balls carrying a .400 or better expected AVG and 2 of ’em were outs
25	Javier Assad	CHC at TBR			x	69	2.74	1.22	14%	29th/28th	Was never going to stay that hot and that’s OK… I will say I’m impressed by his 26% K during this regression run (5.66 ERA, 1.68 WHIP in L4), but can it hold w/a 6% SwStr?
26	Aaron Civale	TBR v CHC			x	67	5.51	1.36	17%	13th/17th	The 1.8 HR9 is killing him, but if he can fix that then the 17% K-BB (ranked 31st) can definitely bring some good results
27	Slade Cecconi	ARI v LAA			x	41	5.66	1.14	12%	27th/25th	Far better v. sub-.500 clubs: 4.15 ERA/0.97 WHIP so he’s worth considering here
28	Austin Gomber	COL at MIN				66	3.38	1.20	9%	26th/18th	A couple wobbly starts after a brilliant May, but his 1-3 record underscores his nearly non-exsitent Win probability
29	Jonathan Cannon	CHW at SEA				16	5.94	1.62	17%	21st/24th
30	Daniel Lynch IV	KCR v NYY				16	5.63	1.19	9%	9th/1st	It’s aces-only against NYY at this juncture
