Starting Pitcher Chart – June 24th, 2025

June 24, 2025

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.

2	Garrett Crochet	BOS at LAA	x	x	x	102	2.20	1.03	24%	22nd
3	Carlos Rodón	NYY at CIN	x	x	x	95	3.10	0.98	21%	21st
4	Framber Valdez	HOU v PHI	x	x	x	96	3.09	1.13	17%	7th
5	Kris Bubic	KCR v TBR	x	x	x	85	2.12	1.12	18%	17th
6	Freddy Peralta	MIL v PIT	x	x	x	88	2.76	1.11	15%	29th
7	Ryne Nelson	ARI at CHW	x	x	x	55	3.88	1.08	12%	30th
8	Spencer Strider	ATL at NYM	x	x	x	37	3.89	1.14	21%	5th	Tough matchup pushes him down relative to his peers today, but he’s back to an unquestioned Auto-Start (2.00 ERA/0.89 WHIP/30% K-BB in 3 straight QS)
9	Kevin Gausman	TOR at CLE	x	x	x	86	4.60	1.13	17%	24th
10	Ranger Suárez	PHI at HOU	x	x	x	57	2.20	1.06	17%	1st	He’s in one of his grooves and sure, HOU could break it, but I can’t sit him when he’s this hot: 7 ER in 53.7 IP after 7 ER in his first start (3.7 IP)
11	Jameson Taillon	CHC at STL	W	x	x	86	3.84	1.04	14%	12th	Still a road game against the team’s chief rival, so a W won’t be easy, but he catching STL at the right time (28th in wOBA vR L30)
12	Justin Wrobleski	LAD at COL	W	W	x	24	5.18	1.19	15%	27th	It’s still Coors and this isn’t an ace, but at the very least I’m willing to go for the Win
13	Luis Castillo	SEA at MIN		x	x	85	3.37	1.24	12%	15th	MIN sneakily on the rise, sitting top 10 vR in the L30; still like Castillo in most formats
14	Andrew Heaney	PIT at MIL		x	x	82	3.94	1.19	10%	13th	MIL’s park is really stifling HRs this yr (82 Park Factor) so while we lean toward home starts w/Heandog, this is a good roadie to consider
15	Justin Verlander	SFG v MIA		x	x	56	4.45	1.43	10%	22nd	Wasn’t great in his IL return, but hopefully he’s ramped enough to take full advantage of this excellent 2-step (at CHW on the wknd)
16	Luis Severino	ATH at DET		x	x	95	4.42	1.34	9%	16th	Sevvy’s been exponentially better on the road: 6.79 ERA/1.60 WHIP in 57 home IP \| 0.93/0.96 in 39 road IP
17	Charlie Morton	BAL v TEX		x	x	67	5.64	1.60	14%	28th	Surging of late w/4 out of 5 good starts since returning to SP; still a hit-machine w/a severe downside, but I don’t mind streaming him here
18	Taj Bradley	TBR at KCR			x	80	4.95	1.35	11%	27th	7 BB, 3 HR, and 13 ER (he’s lucky all 5 at NYM were UER) in his last 3 starts (9.3 IP); I don’t blame anyone for skipping this start, but it’s an OK spot if you think this is a funk and I’m still inclined to hold as he had a 42 IP run of 3.21 ERA/1.09 WHIP right before this skid
19	Chris Paddack	MIN v SEA			x	80	4.48	1.23	10%	10th	SEA is on fire again, sitting 5th in wOBA over the L30 while Paddack’s come down from his hot streak w/12 ER in his L2; this one could be decided late w/how well the teams are hitting
20	Jacob Latz	TEX at BAL			x	30	3.26	1.29	13%	30th	I really hope they keep giving him an opener to help boost his modest Win upside, but there might be something here: 2.63 ERA/1.11 WHIP in 17.3 IP (incl. 2 extended follows and a traditional start)
21	Chase Burns	CIN v NYY				#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	3rd	Very intriguing debut from a premium prospect so I’m SUPER interested in picking him up just in case he clicks right away, but passing on the start w/this matchup
22	Cal Quantrill	MIA at SFG				63	5.68	1.47	11%	20th
23	Erick Fedde 페디	STL v CHC				84	3.54	1.30	5%	4th
24	Sean Burke	CHW v ARI				76	4.50	1.42	8%	1st
25	Trevor Williams	WSN at SDP				74	5.54	1.45	12%	14th
26	Ryan Bergert	SDP v WSN				24	1.88	0.96	11%	19th	Ratios this low are near-guaranteed to regress for anyone, but these are likely to skyrocket w/a 7% SwStr and 11% K-BB
27	Tyler Anderson	LAA v BOS				81	4.56	1.40	10%	3rd
28	Logan Allen로건	CLE v TOR				66	4.21	1.48	7%	8th
29	Frankie Montas	NYM v ATL				#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	13th	Season debut; we need 2-3 starts to really see what we’ve got here… of course, if this goes well, ppl will jump immediately and I’m just not there right now
30	Germán Márquez	COL v LAD				73	6.11	1.64	8%	2nd
