Daily SP Chart archive
Do you ever bust your ass to finish your work super early so you can have a night on the couch watching tv w/your gf and go to bed early only to not hit the publish button and end up posting that piece the following morning?
Yeah, me neither……🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Drop any questions you have in the comments. Feels like a pretty straightforward slate outside of the 2-x guys being tough decisions for shallower formats.

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 (notes will be more statistical-based once we get some sample to work with). 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 basically a 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 value focusing on roto.
Are you watching baseball with the girlfriend? If not, what?
Some night yes, she’s very open to baseball nights where we’re just on the couch doing puzzles, playing board games, etc… but last night was hers so we watched the Met Gala red carpet, which I quite enjoyed despite not really understanding high fashion all that well
Well, watching the Met Gala is certainly better than watching the Mets.
