Starting Pitcher Chart – September 6th, 2022

I started this in early-September last year and it seemed to be useful so it’s time to bring back the Daily SP Chart!

The chart will include their performance over the last five starts, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness, and then my start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues. 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.

Let’s go secure some titles!

Joe Musgrove SDP ARI R x x x 3.07 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 21% K-BB .333 – 4th ARI is dangerous vR, but not enough to sit someone this good

Mike Mayers LAA DET R x x 4.98 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 15% K-BB .281 – 25th Stats are from 3 relief app. & 2 starts; DET unlikely to leverage his HR issue
Cole Irvin OAK ATL L x 4.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 17% K-BB .385 – 2nd Remarkably difficult matchup will test his 1.94 home ERA

Justin Dunn CIN at CHC R x 4.63 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 9% K-BB .302 – 18th Showing some flashes of late: 2.40 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 12% K-BB in 15 IP

Paolo Espino WAS at STL R 4.26 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 15% K-BB .361 – 1st Been OK of late, but StL is way too scary to risk it

Wade Miley CHC CIN L 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 5% K-BB .325 – 12th First start since June 10th
Chad Kuhl COL MIL R 10.02 ERA, 1.98 WHIP, 10% K-BB .293 – 21st It has to be SO hard to pitch in that park
