Starting Pitcher Chart – June 6th, 2025

by Paul Sporer
June 5, 2025
Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images

Daily SP Chart archive

The chart includes their performance for 2025, their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far, 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 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 valuable focusing on roto.

ICYMI last night: Probably gonna be board-only pieces the rest of the week as I head out to Charlotte to catch a Savannah Bananas game with a couple friends and link up with our very own Jason Collette as well! I think I’m gonna make the Saturday and Sunday boards with the current probables and load them into the WordPress so I don’t have to do it on my laptop and then I will make any changes in-place meaning I won’t remake the boards. So let’s say a 1-x guy gets moved out and a stud is moved up in his place, I would put the 3-x stud in that 1-x guy’s row as it’s much easier on short notice during a vacation… so I’m choosing convenience over style in that case. But that’s only if there are changes.

Friday’s board is paper-thin, especially for a 30-arm slate!! Not only is it light on studs, but many of them are facing tough teams: Skubal v. CHC, Sonny v. LAD, Senga at Coors (COL sucks, but always a dangerous park), and Lodolo v. ARI.

NOTE: for board-only days I’m going to put a “W” in the box to indicate a Win-chase, someone you’re using because you think they’re team can support them enough to get a Win even if they give something like a 5 IP/4 ER start. This will be used as almost a half-x as I’m only advocating for them in a specific case so if you don’t care as much about the Win potential, you can ignore the reco.
