Starting Pitcher Chart – June 12th, 2026
- Daily SP Chart archive
- 2-Start podcast episode
- SP Rankings (last update: 6/5 | next: July)
Welcome to the Daily SP Chart, click here if you’re new to get an idea of what I’m doing with these rankings.
They’re working on a transformer here so the power is going out intermittently this morning.
- I didn’t realize ATH was in Vegas all week, so that Jump reco was misguided at best. Easy no-go there.
- Ben Brown has been pushed back to tomorrow.
- I’m never particularly excited to start Baz, but it’s hard to envision a better matchup
- Leiter/Imai are matchup recos, though they’ve been passable of late (mid-4.00s ERA in L30 for both) but Imai’s 1.17 WHIP is a good bit better than Leiter’s 1.27 in that same span.
- I know Sandy had an amazing 2-step last week, but this is a very difficult matchup so I don’t think he’s a must in 10s. His platoon split plays right into their strong lefty lineup, too. Not even sure you have to run this in 12s. I got burned for being proactive with him last week and actually skipped the 2-step. Of course, I put him back in this week to eat what will surely be a flameout. 🤣

Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues
Intro
The chart includes their performance for 2026, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness, and recently added opponent’s K% (also v. SP handedness), my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues – essentially a shallow, medium, deep league setup – and then a note about some, most, or all depending on the day. 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 for standard 5×5 roto leagues, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. I usually won’t have much to write about aces who are locked into our rotations. If you want to discuss someone further, please feel free to leave a comment. I usually do a few sweeps of the comments before game time in case there are time-sensitive questions.

Color Coding:
- Green – Good Matchup (so lower OPS output by the pitcher’s opponent)
- Yellow – OK
- Red – Bad
Ben Brown got pushed to tomorrow

Curious about your rationale for giving Jump a 3-X in Vegas. I know it’s the Rockies, but the blowup potential in that ballpark still scares me.
Oh shit it’s still in Vegas? Yeah full no go. Had it my head that it was just Milwaukee series there
Wind at 10+:
PIT – out to L center at 10
NYM – out to R at 10
CHW – out to L center at 10
MIN – out to L center at 10
Vegas – Out to R at 12, hot too (98*), over/under for this game is 14 runs
Rain:
WAS – 54% at 1st pitch but clears out by game’s end
BAL – 27% at 1st pitch, 13% by game’s end
NYM – 50% at 1st pitch, 26 by game’s end
MIN – 22% at 1st pitch ,58% by game’s end, 70% after the game
Leiter seems like an aggressive rank. Just a play against the Red Sox?
Probably. Boston are one of the worst teams in baseball and can’t seem to win at home this year. They’re usually lucky to get 1-2 runs per game with an occasional big game. Paul is probably gambling on the usual from the Sox.
Yes definitely matchup
Perez or Strider today for ATL?
MLB’s Starting Lineup page says Strider
Rockies just called up Sean Sullivan and he’s starting tonight.
