Starting Pitcher Chart - May 4th, 2026
Key Points:
- The Daily SP Chart provides updated starting pitcher rankings for 2026, including performance metrics, opponent wOBA versus pitcher handedness, and start/sit recommendations for 10-, 12-, and 15-team leagues.
- Schlittler is rising in the rankings due to impressive early-season performance, while Soriano is gaining attention for his unexpectedly low ERA; Gilbert's surface struggles are noted but not concerning long-term.
- Concerns are raised about Cabrera's declining strikeout rate and potential regression in HR/FB ratio, while Martin's strong ERA is supported by high strand rate and improved walk rate, though some regression is expected.
- Streaming recommendations are adjusting due to underperformance from typically strong teams like the Phillies, Mets, and Red Sox, leading to more cautious starts against these lineups.
- The chart and advice focus on standard 5x5 roto leagues, emphasizing that individual league settings and strategies should guide final decisions, with ongoing commentary available for time-sensitive questions.
