Starting Pitcher Chart – September 28th
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.

3 of Chris Sale’s 5 worst starts over the last 2 years have come against Baltimore. Allowing 5, 6 and 7 runs in those starts.
Oh damn, maybe we gotta tap the brakes a bit then. I didn’t realize Baltimore had his number like that. I’m probably still starting him if I’m chasing and hoping to spike a gem, but ratio protectors might be best sitting him
