A bunch of players making their second starts, plus a bunch of back-end players making their debuts in 2026…
Starting Shot Schedule - March 31, 2026
- Daily SP chart profile
- SP ranking
Welcome to the daily SP chart.
Until I get some real data on their performance for 2025 (I switched at the end of April last year), their opponent's WOBA compared to last year's pitcher's arm (rotating teams through the season isn't a perfect solution, but better than using data from the first few days of this year), my general recommendation is 1. 15-team (or more) leagues, then a reference to a few, most or all depending on the day.Of course, there are leagues beyond those three, so it's basically a flat, medium and deep league.Just because a pitcher has only "x" on a 15-man team doesn't mean he doesn't have potential use on 10-man and 12-man teams, but it's a very dangerous stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will weigh heavily whether you're defending ratios or chasing numbers.This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues.Limits for H2H starts are generally low, especially in points leagues, so I thought there would be more value in focusing on roto.
I don't usually have a lot to write on tape stuck in our rotation, you don't really need a brilliant image to be sure to start guys.If you want someone to discuss further, please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you when I can.I try to do some sweeps in the comments before game time if there are time-sensitive questions.
Hi, sorry I passed out watching the Tigers game last night.I think JV cooking put me to sleep.😭

You said it was a risky debut for Soriano, but he played Houston first, so I'm curious what you mean.
Please take my word for it, please pay attention.sure it wasn't his first time, but he was still dangerous when he screwed up!however, the situation may be more dangerous than the formation
Yes, the weather looks good
