Solid board for Friday with plenty of opportunities at every level. As always, there is risk which is heightened in September as we have less time to undo a dud, but we can't just sit on our hands being afraid of a dud if we are chasing points in the standings. Speaking of risk, I just don't see myself starting Luis Gil anywhere right now. He's fresh off the IL and hasn't been pitching that well for some time. I'm very thankful for what he gave us this season and I'll happily revisit in 2025, but I'm OK cutting him for the remainder of 2024.

Let me know if you have questions about anyone else.

The chart includes their 2024 stats (this changed over from last year's stats on April 22nd), their opponent's wOBA rank versus the pitcher's handedness from this year so far (this is changed as of April 11th) and over the last 30 days, 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.
