Starting Pitcher Chart – September 28-29th, 2024

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Final weekend, good luck everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

For Detroit it was Brant Hurter/Tarik Skubal listed as probables, but then Hurter pitched on Friday night and them clinching moves Skubal to game 1 of the Wildcard (that feels amazing to type out). So I think they’ll just piece it together with guys like Keider Montero, Jackson Jobe, Ty Madden, and Kenta Maeda getting multi-inning looks.

Trying to make updates as I see ’em but I’m not going to remake the table so for example Beck replacing Snell will remain atop the list but be 0-x, of course.

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.

Wait a second, I haven’t listened to the Sleeper and the Bust in a while, but Sporer you are a Tigers fans right? Congrats on that Cy Young and playoffs spot.
