Of course ReyLo got moved… just assume that will happen 95% of the time at this point!

| RK | PITCHER | GAME | 10 | 12 | 15+ | IP | ERA | WHIP | K-BB | wOBA RK L30/Season | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dylan Cease | SDP at KCR | x | x | x | 65 | 3.29 | 0.96 | 24% | 10th/11th | |
| 2 | Tanner Houck | BOS v DET | x | x | x | 71 | 1.90 | 0.99 | 20% | 4th/14th | |
| 3 | Aaron Nola | PHI v STL | x | x | x | 71 | 3.04 | 1.06 | 16% | 2nd/10th | |
| 4 | Pablo López | MIN at HOU | x | x | x | 60 | 5.25 | 1.17 | 24% | 5th/5th | 2 duds in a row and a third meh start that incl. 10 H has some concerned but I’m holding firm w/him despite the unrelenting schedule (at NYY after this) |
| 5 | Tanner Bibee | CLE v WSN | x | x | x | 58 | 3.99 | 1.23 | 18% | 25th/19th | Hasn’t been able to build last yr, instead looking like a slightly worse version w/BABIP & HR9 jumps smothering his 2 pt jump in K-BB |
| 6 | Walker Buehler | LAD v COL | x | x | x | 19 | 4.26 | 1.21 | 18% | 18th/20th | Starting to look more like himself in B2B starts v. CIN which includes reaching 90 pitches last time out |
| 7 | Reynaldo López | ATL v OAK | x | x | x | 51 | 1.75 | 1.09 | 14% | 3rd/17th | It’s become a running joke on the pod how often he gets pushed back in the rotation and while OAK is running hot, ReyLo stays in (even if they move him again and again) |
| 8 | José Berríos | TOR v PIT | x | x | x | 67 | 2.94 | 1.10 | 13% | 28th/29th | |
| 9 | Bryan Woo | SEA v LAA | x | x | x | 21 | 1.66 | 0.60 | 18% | 20th/21st | |
| 10 | Albert Suárez 수아레즈 | BAL v TBR | x | x | x | 29 | 1.53 | 0.95 | 14% | 27th/26th | The 34 y/o’s return from KBO has gone swimmingly thus far and he carries high W potential w/BAL |
| 11 | Ronel Blanco | HOU v MIN | x | x | x | 54 | 1.99 | 1.01 | 13% | 21st/22nd | Returned from the suspension w/a 7 IP/1 ER gem; I don’t think any substance was the reason behind his success |
| 12 | José Soriano | LAA at SEA | x | x | x | 52 | 3.61 | 1.18 | 13% | 23rd/25th | Still see a lot of upside here; there will be bumps, but I’m all in on him |
| 13 | Jordan Montgomery | ARI at NYM | x | x | x | 40 | 4.69 | 1.41 | 7% | 29th/18th | Missing Ks are a little worrisome (14%, down 8 pts), but still starting everywhere w/this matchup |
| 14 | Marcus Stroman | NYY at SFG | x | x | x | 62 | 2.76 | 1.24 | 10% | 15th/15th | |
| 15 | Michael Wacha | KCR v SDP | x | x | 62 | 4.31 | 1.26 | 13% | 6th/4th | Has regained his footing after ERA reached mid-5.00s (2.52 ERA/0.96 WHIP in L4) | |
| 16 | Javier Assad | CHC v CIN | x | x | 58 | 2.17 | 1.16 | 13% | 29th/28th | Expected regression came in last wk’s 2-step, but I’m willing to jump back in w/this matchup | |
| 17 | Luis Severino | NYM v ARI | x | x | 58 | 3.22 | 1.16 | 10% | 14th/24th | ||
| 18 | Jordan Hicks | SFG v NYY | x | 58 | 2.33 | 1.09 | 12% | 1st/1st | NYY terrifies me so as hard as it is to sit someone w/a 2.33 ERA, I can definitely see it in this spot | ||
| 19 | Tobias Myers | MIL v CHW | x | 22 | 4.43 | 1.39 | 15% | 30th/30th | Not sure if he’ll get 5 IP, but if you can use some nice innings, I like this spot | ||
| 20 | Graham Ashcraft | CIN at CHC | x | 54 | 4.67 | 1.44 | 10% | 22nd/23rd | |||
| 21 | Aaron Civale | TBR at BAL | x | 56 | 5.72 | 1.34 | 16% | 24th/13th | Definitely no need to push him here | ||
| 22 | Erick Fedde 페디 | CHW at MIL | x | 64 | 2.80 | 1.07 | 15% | 8th/2nd | MIL is like my NL version of NYY, I’m extremely nervous against them | ||
| 23 | Miles Mikolas | STL at PHI | x | 59 | 5.64 | 1.36 | 13% | 7th/6th | |||
| 24 | Bailey Falter | PIT at TOR | x | 58 | 3.55 | 0.98 | 8% | 22nd/12th | |||

The chart includes their 2024 stats (this changed over from last year’s stats on April 22nd), their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th), 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 that just means it is a riskier stream as the league gets shallower.
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 value focusing on roto and then you can generally expand these recommendations a bit for points leagues.
