Starting Pitcher Chart – September 12th, 2022
by Paul Sporer
September 11, 2022
I started this in early-September last year and it seemed to be useful so it’s time to bring back the Daily SP Chart!
The chart will include their performance over the last five starts, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness, and then my start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues. 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.
Let’s go secure some titles!
Monday’s Starters

| Tyler Anderson | LAD | at ARI | L | x | x | x | 2.78 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 11% K-BB | .268 – 29th | As good as ARI’s been vR, they’ve been equally as bad vL |

| Spencer Strider | ATL | at SFG | R | x | x | x | 1.45 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 32% K-BB | .296 – 20th | Wright was originally listed, but it’s Strider… both auto-starts either way! |
| Trevor Rogers | MIA | TEX | L | x | x | x | 3.00 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 26% K-BB | .355 – 5th | Stats in 2 GS since return; I’m ready to get hurt again! |
| Braxton Garrett | MIA | TEX | L | x | x | x | 3.62 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 21% K-BB | .355 – 5th | Only 46 pitches in rehab outing so if you need Ws/QS, might want to pass |
| Jon Gray | TEX | at MIA | R | x | x | x | 3.46 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 23% K-BB | .279 – 28th | 1st start off the IL, but elite matchup so I’m very open to it |
| Eduardo Rodriguez | DET | HOU | L | x | x | 3.68 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 9% K-BB | .334 – 10th | There is some upside, but also MAJOR downside | |
| Glenn Otto | TEX | at MIA | R | x | x | 3.51 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 5% K-BB | .279 – 28th | Matchup drives the interest here | |
| Mike Minor | CIN | PIT | L | x | 4.50 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 10% K-BB | .298 – 22nd | There are worse Hail Marys out there (1-2 ER in ea. of L3) | ||
| Alex Cobb | SFG | ATL | R | x | 2.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 14% K-BB | .326 – 7th | Surviving a .329 BABIP & 9 H/9… ATL can ruin that | ||

| Javier Assad | CHC | at NYM | R | 2.93 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 7% K-BB | .330 – 6th | There’s a tinge of intrigue, but not v. NYM | |||
| Ryne Nelson | ARI | LAD | R | 7 shutout IP in MLB debut | .342 – 1st | Excellent at SDP, but I’d be terrified to take this shot | |||
| Bryse Wilson | PIT | at CIN | R | 6.85 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 7% K-BB | .316 – 10th | No. | |||
| Konnor Pilkington | CLE | LAA | L | 4.43 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, 1% K-BB | .320 – 15th | LAA no longer a team to pick on with lefties now that Trout is back |
MLB.com has Strider listed for the Braves today, and Kyle Wright for 9/13
I see that on Rotowire, too! ESPN led me astray!
