Starting Pitcher Chart – September 10th, 2025

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.

Board tonight, comments in the morning!

For the person yesterday asking about Rodon vs. Eury:

I would definitely go with Rodon over Eury. 2nd week in a row for Eury facing WAS; (recently) Eury pitching poorly, Rodon pitching well; WAS doing well against RHP on the road, Tigers doing poorly against LHP on the road.
