Starting Pitcher Chart – September 19th
Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness 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 it’s basically a risky 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.

| 2 | Spencer Strider | ATL v PHI | x | x | x | 169 | 3.73 | 1.08 | 30% | 2nd/7th | Closes w/2 starts v. WSN after this (if he makes his start next wk, they could feasibly rest him) |
| 3 | Ryan Pepiot | LAD v DET | x | x | x | 27 | 2.00 | 0.63 | 20% | 28th/28th | 1 bad inning (3 ER) v. SDP is the only blemish since Aug. 19th recall (2.00 ERA/0.63 WHIP) |

| 10 | Clarke Schmidt | NYY v TOR | x | x | 146 | 4.56 | 1.34 | 16% | 14th/11th | Rebounded after the ATL dud w/a 3.77 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 17% K-BB in 20 IP | |
| 11 | Alex Cobb | SFG at ARI | x | x | 149 | 3.62 | 1.30 | 15% | 17th/12th | ||
| 12 | Hunter Brown | HOU v BAL | x | x | 146 | 4.61 | 1.34 | 19% | 6th/16th | 5 no-hit IP v. OAK doesn’t fully regain my confidence in him but Ks & a decent W chance are worth the stream | |
| 13 | Eduardo Rodriguez | DET at LAD | x | x | 135 | 3.32 | 1.15 | 16% | 19th/4th | No shame in skipping LAD, espec. w/his bumpy control of late (15% BB in L4) | |
| 14 | Joey Lucchesi | NYM at MIA | x | x | 35 | 2.83 | 1.26 | 8% | 26th/11th | Looked great in his return w/7 pseudo-scoreless (1 UER) IP v. ARI | |
| 15 | Javier Assad | CHC v PIT | x | x | 95 | 3.10 | 1.25 | 8% | 20th/22nd | Dud in Coors was kind of expected and doesn’t bother me | |
| 16 | Adrian Houser | MIL at STL | x | x | 95 | 4.53 | 1.46 | 13% | 23rd/8th | Solid streamer if your waiver wire is light on options | |
| 17 | Taj Bradley | TBR v LAA | x | x | 90 | 5.56 | 1.41 | 20% | 26th/13th | ||
| 18 | Tanner Houck | BOS at TEX | x | 93 | 4.94 | 1.33 | 13% | 11th/3rd | Still nervous facing Texas, but he was great last time out (6 IP/0 ER/7 Ks v. NYY) | ||
| 19 | Nathan Eovaldi | TEX v BOS | x | 130 | 2.96 | 1.09 | 15% | 8th/6th | Reached 73 pitches in his last start so should have enough in the tank for 5 IP if he’s throwing well v. his former club | ||
| 20 | Cristopher Sánchez | PHI at ATL | 87 | 3.40 | 1.05 | 20% | 4th/1st | Held his own v. ATL last start but it’s still SUPER risky; 2 v. NYM to close out makes him worth holding | |||
| 21 | Kyle Gibson | BAL at HOU | 175 | 4.98 | 1.32 | 13% | 1st/9th | Maybe in Hail Mary mode, but he can sink you in a matchup like this | |||
| 22 | Ben Lively 라이블리 | CIN v MIN | 81 | 5.11 | 1.31 | 16% | 5th/5th | Has gone bulk IP in his last 2 w/decent results (6 ER in 10 IP, but a 1.00 WHIP and 9 Ks)… I could see a Hail Mary throw | |||
| 23 | Bailey Falter | PIT at CHC | 77 | 4.40 | 1.30 | 13% | 12th/12th | Duds v. ATL & CHC are the only blemishes in 37 IP since his return (3.62 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 14% K-BB) but obviously he gets one of those tms again here | |||
| 24 | Patrick Sandoval | LAA at TBR | 136 | 4.48 | 1.50 | 9% | 8th/9th | ||||
| 25 | Paul Blackburn | OAK v SEA | 95 | 4.14 | 1.54 | 14% | 7th/15th | ||||
| 26 | Alec Marsh | KCR v CLE | 60 | 5.67 | 1.59 | 14% | 24th/21st | ||||
| 27 | Connor Seabold | COL at SDP | 82 | 7.65 | 1.63 | 9% | 13th/18th | ||||
| 28 | Jackson Rutledge | WSN v CHW | 3 | 17.18 | 3.00 | 5% | 27th/30th | ||||
| 29 | Drew Rom | STL v MIL | 22 | 5.96 | 1.76 | 5% | 5th/19th | ||||
| 30 | José Ureña | CHW at WSN | 28 | 8.48 | 1.88 | 3% | 29th/25th |
E-Rod pitched @LAD last night and got hurt.
My brain really farted on that one… I was WATCHING the game and just mindlessly didn’t put 2+2 together on that one to fix it. My bad. I wouldn’t start Faedo anywhere today
