Starts & Sits for Week 5 - All Starting Pitcher Matchups for Fantasy Baseball

Aaron Nola - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

We're into May! I hope all of your wildest dreams are coming true this fantasy baseball season. We're back with another beast of a post where I give a grade and a start/sit recommendation for every SP scheduled to start a game this week.

The feedback has been great on this post so far, and I appreciate all of the comments, retweets, and upvotes! Shout out to that guy last week that questioned my recommendation of sitting Adrian Houser against the Reds. He convinced me to recommend the start, and then Houser got crushed. So anybody who took my advice on that start and got burned – blame that one dude on Reddit, not me!

For every week of the fantasy baseball season, we are going to analyze every single projected starting pitcher matchup for fantasy baseball and help you set optimal lineups. Below are the projected starting pitching matchups and starts/sits for Week 5 – May 9-16 – which will be updated as rotations continue to be announced and modified. This column will make continuous adjustments for any postponements or rotation shuffles, reflecting official beat writer speculation for as many unconfirmed rotation slots as possible. Let's set those winning lineups!

Start/Sit Data Overview

This weekly piece considers the pitcher’s opponents, their outlook against lefties and righties, some ballpark factors, and historical splits. With all of this information, we then provide our start/sit recommendations for each starting pitcher matchup for the approaching week of fantasy baseball.

Each player will be valued with a Start/Sit recommendation, we are also including a "Score" column this year to display the level of confidence in that pick. Scores go from 0-100 in increments of five. The higher, the better! They are also color-coded, as you'll see.

Legend:

  • Proj GS - the number of starts the starter is projected to make in the week's scoring period.
  • Score - A metric of confidence, from 0-100 in increments of five. The higher, the better for the pitcher.

This chart is updated daily as probable starters are constantly changing with game postponements, injuries, and other events.
