Stephen Brashear-USA TODAY Sports
Welcome to the Daily SP Chart.
Note: 2026 data is now featured in the chart as of April 13th! We’re still dealing with small samples, but I’ve taken out the 2025 data and you will now see the pitcher’s current numbers and the wOBA rank for their opponent this year so far!
The chart includes their performance for 2026, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about some, most, or all depending on the day. 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 a much riskier 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. I usually won’t have much to write about aces who are locked into our rotations, you don’t really need a shiny stat to be convinced on starting guys like that. If you want to discuss someone further, please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll get you an answer when I can. I try to do a few sweeps of the comments before game time in case there are time-sensitive questions.

2 ER in 11.3 IP since OD disaster so as long as you didn’t overreact or pretend to have him ranked outside the top 10, it’s all good!

22% K & 7% SwStr are more palatable when paired w/a 60% GB… but definitely needs more whiffs as the season goes on

1 good, 1 bad, 1 meh so far; 6 BB at NYY will take some time to work off (& he’s not a BB stud in the first place) but still a rotation staple

A .115 BABIP has mitigated the damage of a 21% BB; neither will hold here but even a return to his career 12% BB is well above the 8% lg avg. so it’s always a rollercoaster w/him

Ugly skills in a 4 IP relief app. and his lone start at TOR where he still went 5 IP/1 ER; tough matchup, but great support keeps W on table as long as he goes 5

Was great in AAA (26% K-BB, 1.07 WHIP), but he’s a 6-yr vet who’s been perfectly cromulent in the bigs, he should be ripping up the minors

13% SwStr in line w/2025 and suggests Ks can return but I’d be careful here w/the hot-hitting Fish, though they don’t walk much

I’m OK starting the 2-step (v. SFG this wknd) as a do-or-die test, but there’s little to cling to w/a 3% K-BB and 9% SwStr
