Starting Pitcher Chart – May 16th, 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.
Fell asleep early last night and then had the podcast very early this morning so board only. I’m going to try and get a weekend board up for y’all sometime today and I’m happy to answer any questions on guys going today.

I really do plan my day around these — its so valuable for so many different baseball things i do. I appreciate it (and would love weekend editions :-))…
YES to weekend editions
They will probably be board-only, but I’m gonna try to get mix it in my normal schedule and post ’em with Friday’s pieces going forward
