Starting Pitcher Chart – June 20th, 2024

Rafael Suanes-USA TODAY Sports

There isn’t a ton to choose from outside of the obvious starts. I’m struggling to even find some good YOLO options among the 0-x guys… hell, I’m not even SUPER confident in Wilson & Allen in their respective recommendation windows. Take it easy on Thursday!

Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues

 

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.

Good luck running Stone out there @Coors. He’s firmly on my bench in a 15

Right, I’ve been surprised by the recommendation of pitchers in Coor’s this year. Has the data changed or the Rockie’s just that bad?

Looks like Stone justified your ranking. No quality start though, so I don’t regret sitting him too much
