Kyle Ross-USA TODAY Sports

Welcome to the Daily SP Chart, click here if you’re new to get an idea of what I’m doing with these rankings.

It’s a pretty straightforward board today with some easy locks at the top and few decisions on the streaming front.

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

Wind at 10+:

BAL – across from R to L at 11
SFG – out to center at 11 in a ballpark designed to minimize wind effects
Sutter Health Las Vegas Ballpark – A’s are playing the next 2 series in Vegas at the AAA park so they’ll be at 2,000′ elevation, wind is out to R center at 11 and it’s warm, bump to bats

No rain issues

Just realized that weather is still Sacramento. Vegas is even warmer (89*) with wind out to R at 15

yeah, I don’t think you want any part of Vegas this week unless the wind turns in. Not even 2.5 innings so far and there are 5 HR and 5 other non-HR batted balls over 105 so far.
