Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues | FW: Follower

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.

  • Green – Good Matchup (so lower OPS output by the pitcher’s opponent)
  • Yellow – OK
  • Red – Bad

Wind:

PIT – out to R center at 11
WAS – in from L at 12
Coors – in from R at 8, cooler today but still warmish (81*), potential rain too

Rain:

NYM – 69% at 1st pitch but dropping to 30% mid-game. With the postponement yesterday, guaranteed they play this one.

MIN – 90% at 1st pitch dropping to 65% by the end of the game and 46% after. It’s obviously the Dodgers’ only trip to MIN but they do both have an off-day Thursday if they want to reschedule’

Coors – 27-46% before, during and after the game.

I appreciate these posts. Very useful. Thanks.

I’ll be watching Bieber and Ray today to see if they’ll be useful ROS.
