Each day SP Chart archive
The chart consists of their efficiency for 2025 (I modified over from 2024 #s on April fifteenth — just a little sooner than final yr), their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this yr to this point (this modified as of April 14th which continues to be a reasonably small pattern, however we are able to begin attacking some chilly lineups or be extra cautious with these performing nicely to this point), my normal begin/sit suggestion for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or extra) leagues, after which a observe about them. Clearly, there are league sizes past these three so it’s basically a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher solely has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t imply there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it surely’s mainly a riskier stream for these spots.
These are normal suggestions, and your league scenario will carry extra weight whether or not you’re defending ratios or chasing counting numbers. That is for traditional 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H begins are usually decrease, particularly in factors leagues so I assumed there could be extra worth specializing in roto.
