I know I said full comments back today, but I’m just not sure the first 9 needed any commentary. Of course if you have questions on any of them, I’ll gladly discuss them in the comments!

5	Luis Gil	NYY at NYM	x	x	x	81	2.77	1.08	17%	17th/13th
6	Grayson Rodriguez	BAL v CLE	x	x	x	75	3.82	1.29	19%	3rd/11th
7	Kutter Crawford	BOS v TOR	x	x	x	92	3.59	1.14	17%	19th/19th
8	Gavin Stone	LAD v CHW	x	x	x	80	3.04	1.20	12%	29th/30th
9	Ryan Pepiot	TBR v SEA	x	x	x	66	4.61	1.13	19%	18th/22nd
10	Spencer Turnbull	PHI at DET	x	x	x	51	2.63	1.05	18%	25th/26th	While he’s only topped 50 pitches once since May 1st, I don’t think he has to be super limited in his return to the rotation
11	Brady Singer	KCR v MIA	x	x	x	82	3.29	1.21	16%	27th/28th	Finally a break in the schedule after a run of at CLE/NYY/at LAD/at TEX (5.31 ERA in 20 IP)
12	Simeon Woods Richardson	MIN at ARI	x	x	x	60	3.26	1.14	14%	8th/12th	A couple duds mixed in, but has been solid w/3.28 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 13% K-BB in L7
13	Nathan Eovaldi	TEX at MIL		x	x	66	3.14	1.14	17%	10th/5th	Normally a consistent all-formats lock, but MIL is no joke and I wouldn’t mind passing here where I can
14	Spencer Arrighetti	HOU v COL		x	x	58	6.36	1.74	11%	14th/16th	Schedule set him up to get super hot after a 2.29 ERA in 4 starts led into a run of DET/at CWS/COL.. he has blown the first 2 (10 ER in 5.7 IP)
15	Erick Fedde 페디	CHW v LAD			x	94	3.05	1.14	16%	9th/4th	His 2.86 ERA v. >.500 tms is better than his 3.27 v. sub-.500 clubs, buuut the skills drop from 21% K-BB to just 12%… be careful
16	Trevor Rogers	MIA at KCR			x	75	4.90	1.55	8%	12th/14th	Finding his form again? Results-wise, yes – 3.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, but just an 8% K-BB leaves me cautious w/him
17	DJ Herz	WSN at SDP			x	18	4.50	1.33	26%	15th/21st	Getting knocked around at COL is hardly a crime, this will be a key rebound spot that will play a role in my future confidence w/him
18	Joey Estes	OAK at LAA			x	40	5.53	1.25	12%	26th/24th	Bounced back in 2nd straight start v. MIN (6 ER in 1st, 2 ER in 2nd), but the 6 Ks, 4 BB, and 5 HR over his L3 combined gives me pause on trusting him too much
19	Graham Ashcraft	CIN v PIT			x	62	5.05	1.46	10%	22nd/29th	Good matchup, bad pitcher
20	Sean Manaea	NYM v NYY				71	4.16	1.29	15%	18th/15th	Bad matchup, good pitcher
21	Ryne Nelson	ARI v MIN				64	5.18	1.51	9%	2nd/9th	Whenever I start to get comfortable w/him, he rug pulls us
22	Roansy Contreras	LAA v OAK				30	3.90	1.33	13%	28th/27th	Live arm I liked as a propsect in PIT, but I’m keeping expectations light even w/a good matchup
23	Ryan Feltner	COL at HOU				80	6.02	1.48	14%	11th/6th	Y’all know I like him as a pitcher, but not really fantasy relevant unless he escapes Coors (it can even infect your road work)
24	Andre Pallante	STL v ATL				32	5.23	1.62	8%	24th/14th	Even w/ATL’s modest offensive output of late, I’m still very cautious about running Pallante anywhere
25	Luis L. Ortiz	PIT at CIN				47	3.45	1.30	9%	12th/25th	Being a 3-5 IP guy means any blip can blow up the ERA
26	Yariel Rodríguez	TOR at BOS				16	5.94	1.92	7%	5th/8th	There is raw talent, but he will cook your ratios
27	Mason Black	SFG v CHC				14	8.79	1.95	4%	15th/18th	Hasn’t gone 5 IP in any of his 4 starts, allowing 1 HR in each of them as well
28	Carlos Carrasco	CLE at BAL				65	5.40	1.38	11%	1st/3rd	No shot in this matchup
29	Keider Montero	DET v PHI				4	8.31	1.38	21%	13th/7th	Wasn’t exactly tearing up the minors prior to his call-up
30	Dallas Keuchel	MIL v TEX				#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	17th/20th	He isn’t confirmed, but they did recently trade for him… watch MIL somehow get 50 useful IP outta him somehow!

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 versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th), 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.
