Starting Pitcher Chart – June 9th, 2025
Daily SP Chart archive
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.
Getting this one done from the airport… I’ll be home later this morning so the SP Chart should be back to normal the rest of the week!

I’m in a 15 team and still afraid of pivetta vs dodgers today, it feels like the day his hr/fb% normalizes. Is the recommendation because the game is in Petco?
I definitely understand your concern as a long-time Pivetta skeptic, but I think he’s pitching well enough to live in the rotation of most leagues
