Starting Pitcher Chart – September 27th, 2024

I’m stumbling into the finish line here, y’all. Not only did I fall asleep early Wednesday night, but then I had the post locked and loaded this morning only to schedule it improperly (it would’ve gone out overnight tonight). I’m sorry about that for those of you who were looking for a Thursday board. Here’s the Friday board and I’ll get the weekend one up on Friday sometime. Good luck down the stretch and never roster Angels pitchers! (Reid Detmers and Tyler Anderson ruined me!)

Casey Mize is listed for Detroit on the Probables board, but he relieved on Thursday so I really doubt he starts Friday, even for 1-3 IP.

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.
