Some tricky spots out there for Tuesday and we’ve already seen some strong bets flop (thanks, Detmers!) so be careful.

Recommendations for Roto 5×5 Leagues

The chart includes their 2024 stats (this changed over from last year’s stats on April 22nd), their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th) and over the last 30 days, 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.

I have a choice between 2 starts with Nola (MIL & CHC) or 2 with Brandon Williamson. Nola has looked shaky of late and not as good a 2nd half. Chasing 3 pts in ERA, 1 in whip, 1 in Ks with team ahead of me but I’ll have 3 more starts. I have Wheeler, Snell, Manaea and Nick Martinez as other starters.

That’s rough. Chicago and Milwaukee have both been red hot on offense lately, but Williamson isn’t a guy I’m confident in with his underlying numbers and underwhelming pure stuff. I’d go with Nola. He’s a proven commodity and has still done enough in the second half to get you a QS most starts.

Oh maaannn. I think I’m going with Williamson. Nola has the track record, but like you said, he’s been a bit bumpy down the stretch. It’s really close, but I have a slight B Willy lean
