Welcome to the Daily SP Chart, click here if you’re new to get an idea of what I’m doing with these rankings.
The whole 1-x pack is pretty scary, but not without merit to take a shot in spots. Nelson, Ginn, and Bello draw difficult matchups, Jones is working back from injury, while Giolito and Crow have solid matchups but shaky skills. Anyone else y’all want to discuss? Drop a comment!

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
Wind at 10+:
BOS – out to L at 13
Wrigley – out to L center at 13, bump to bats
Only rain issue is MIN where it peaks at 35%
Wind out for Imanaga?? 🙈
Yeah, that home losing streak gonna hit 9 games by the end of the night. 🙁
Wind blows out for both teams. . .
I don’t have either pitcher and I have 2 Athletics hitters so I’m rooting for a 13-11 game 🙂
