In fact, so far this season, there have been 165 instances of a starting pitcher allowing at least six earned runs in an outing. Last year, there were 364 such occurrences for the entire season.įor the H2H format, I’m continuing to look at pitchers who are able to give me the innings that I need, while adding in some intriguing Stuff+ guys and ignoring players who I don’t believe in whatsoever, such as Bryce Elder.Īnd since these are rest-of-season rankings, I moved players down such as Eury Pérez, who I absolutely love, but who are at risk of being sent down/shut down due to innings concerns. These are good pitchers who are getting hit around regularly.

And these aren’t your Jimmy Barthmaiers who we are talking about. The pitching landscape is harder than ever to project, as it seems like on a night-to-night basis, pitchers are getting hit around to the tune of six or seven earned runs. I feel great about where I have my hitters.


But I’m trying to trust the process, and hoping that it works better than it has for Joel Embiid and the 76ers (we all love outdated references, right?).įor this month’s update, there’s a larger sample to work with, giving me extra temerity in putting together this Top 300. That’s the approach that I take with my rankings, knowing that often (very often, in fact) I get it wrong.
