Weekly Pitcher Rankings: Now With Rostership Levels

Written by

Updated on June 20, 2022 3:22AM EST

As promised last week, there is now a notation for every pitcher rostered in 50 percent or fewer leagues in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship Main Even (15MIX) and $350 Rotowire Online Championship (12MIX). If the space is blank, the hurler is rostered in at least half the respective leagues. Clearly, it's still worth checking to see if pitchers of interest are available in your league, NFBC or otherwise. It's intended to be a quick means of identifying possible pitchers to start, or pickup for the week in question.

A down and dirty means of using the data is considering all pitchers above the MIX12 Reliever ranking in play for 12-team leagues and those ahead of the MIX15 Reliever ranking as viable options in 15 team leagues. Again, this is just a guide. League context and team needs are paramount, but a little extra help is a good thing.

As for the week, based on the info, Tyler Wells is the only double dipper worth picking up in 12- or 15-team leagues, but there are a handful of one-start options widely available in 12 team formats. Hopefully, you'll find this addition useful.

By means of reminder, the matchups are culled from the Probable Pitchers page. While I'm always willing to address specific rankings questions (and often adjust accordingly), please direct rotation inquiries to the Probable Pitchers page.
