Weekly Pitcher Rankings: Striding to the Top

Lather, rinse, repeat. The available pool of two-start pitchers, especially in 15-team mixed, is razor thin. There are a couple of possibilities in 12-team mixed. 

For those new, or needing a refresh, here is how to use the RELIEVER rows and ROSTERSHIP columns to best utilize these rankings. The bolded reliever represents a very good, non-closing reliever. The idea being it's better to start a reliever of this ilk instead of the starting pitchers ranked lower. Of course, everything is contextual and depends on team needs (not to mention format), but within the scope of these rankings, it's a good indicator of how each arm will affect your standings with their performance for the coming week.

MIX12 and MIX15 are the current rostership levels in the NFBC Rotowire Online Championship and Main Event, respectively. They may not match your league, but they ballpark who may be available. Of course, it's always worth the effort to check your league's available player list.

Anyone available in at least half of the leagues is identified. A blank means they are rostered in over half the leagues, but again, always check.

Pitchers with a rostership below 50 percent and above the Mix 12 or Mix 15 reliever are FAAB targets. More often than not, most of them only have one start, but if they're better than who you have on reserve, they merit a pickup, if only to dump next week.

I'm happy to clarify in the comments, as well as addressing specific rankings questions. If you have a question about the schedule, please direct it to Probable Pitchers.
