FanGraphs • • sports
Key Points:
- The Daily SP Chart provides updated starting pitcher rankings for 2026, including performance data, opponent wOBA versus pitcher handedness, and opponent strikeout rates, with tailored start/sit recommendations for different league sizes (10-, 12-, and 15-team leagues).
- The chart focuses on standard 5×5 roto leagues and offers general advice, emphasizing that individual league contexts, such as ratio protection or counting stats pursuit, should influence decisions.
- Notably, Dylan Dollander is highlighted as a pitcher breaking the usual avoidance of Rockies starters due to his solid strikeout profile and selective home starts, despite challenges pitching at Coors Field.
- Dollander’s performance shows a 26% strikeout rate and a 9% walk rate overall, with better control at home (7% BB rate), but caution is advised for certain upcoming starts, especially against left-handed heavy lineups like Texas and Arizona.
- The analysis suggests Dollander is a volatile option with potential for both poor outings and strong performances, making him a risky but potentially rewarding streaming candidate in fantasy baseball.
