The studs are catching some tough matchups but outside of scenarios where you’re aggressively protecting ratios, I’d still definitely run ’em!

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.
Small note, but Vogt said he might give players a day off today (the smartest day to do it), so knock Cantillo a bit for win probability. Still looks like he could have a great finish to the season after starting so rough.
He and Brant Hurter are going to be two fun, young lefties to watch for the next couple years. Two big guys, both with excellent changeups and elite extension. Can’t wait to see them duel each other at some point.
