Start/Sit Data Overview

Before the start of each week during the fantasy baseball season, we release the following chart. This chart includes potential starting pitchers for all games scheduled for the upcoming week along with their ratings on a scale from 0 to 100. Our aim is to provide guidance and instill faith (or doubt) in your choices regarding which pitchers to play or bench.

Please keep in mind that aside from the standard "Start" and "Sit" categories, we have also refined the previous "context-dependent" section into more specific classifications: "Lean Sit," "Lean Start," and genuine 50/50 "Coin Flip" choices. This adjustment reflects how various leagues might require distinct strategies, allowing players who fall into the ambiguous territory of start-sit decisions to still be considered viable options depending on one’s risk tolerance.

Additionally, we feature the pitchers most likely to begin their seasons with significant playing time or those who could soon return from the disabled list or be promoted. Keep in mind that circumstances can change rapidly, and we will provide updates promptly to keep you informed. Early in the season often involves constant changes due to emerging injuries and managers establishing consistent lineups, so make sure to visit regularly for the latest details!

In the "start" section, we have listed pitchers who should be started in all leagues. Conversely, the "sit" list consists of pitchers you would bench across all leagues.

The 40-60 spectrum indicates closeness, leaving the decision largely up to you. This choice should be influenced by factors such as your league’s rules, specific team requirements like wins or strikeouts, the depth of your league, and whether rotos or points systems are used for scoring various categories.
