Ottoneu Drip: Finding Under-rostered Pitchers: June 4, 2025

3 days ago | fantasy.fangraphs.com | Jake Mailhot

The search for pitching help is never ending. Between injuries and ineffectiveness, fantasy players are always on the lookout for pitchers who are performing well who can provide some reinforcements. There have been a bunch of unheralded starters compiling strong starts since the calendar rolled over to May. Here are eight who are rostered in less than 60% of all Ottoneu leagues.
Series Preview: Seattle Mariners vs. Baltimore Orioles

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images The Mariners are treading water as we enter June. After an 18-12 April, the Mariners went 13-14 in May. The rotation continued to exit games early, exposing a shallow and inconsistent bullpen. The heart of the lineup continued to mash, but the bottom of the order struggled to contribute. Still, the Mariners are 1-0 in June after Sunday’s walkoff, series-clinching win over the Twins.

The calendar has flipped to June, and the teams that are fighting for their place in the playoff picture are starting to get serious about addressing the flaws on their rosters. Last year, we revamped our power rankings using a modified Elo rating system. If you’re familiar with chess rankings or FiveThirtyEight’s defunct sports section, you’ll know that Elo is an elegant solution that measures teams’ relative strength and is very reactive to recent performance.
Ottoneu Starting Pitching Planner: June 2-8

Welcome back to the Ottoneu Starting Pitching Planner. Based on the Roster Resource Probables Grid, I’ve organized every starter slated to start next week into four categories: start, maybe, risky, and sit. The first and last category are pretty self-explanatory.
Series Preview: Seattle Mariners vs. Washington Nationals

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images The Mariners found a way to squander the goodwill of their strong start to a punishing 10-day roadtrip by finishing with a clunker in Houston, barely scraping one win out of four games and seeing their advantage in the AL West suddenly shrink like a rogue Kardashian threw a waist trainer on it.
FanGraphs Power Rankings: May 19-25

We’re almost through the first two months of the season, and playoff races in both leagues are shaping up to be pretty entertaining this summer. All but three teams in the AL are within three games of a postseason berth, which makes for a very crowded field. The NL is a little more stratified, but there are four Wild Card hopefuls hanging four or five games back in the standings. Last year, we revamped our power rankings using a modified Elo rating system.

Series Preview: Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros

Jonathan Dyer-Imagn Images The Mariners have started off this big road trip with a very good 5-1 record and have now pushed their record to 15-9 while away from T-Mobile Park. That shouldn’t be so surprising; they’re scoring 5.21 runs per game on the road versus just 4.25 at home. Now comes the main event. As good as the M’s have been on the road, the Astros have been just as good at home.

The Reds rotation has been an undeniable strength this season. The team’s starters are third in park- and league-adjusted ERA, and their collective peripherals mostly back it up; they’re 10th in park- and league-adjusted FIP. Hunter Greene has been phenomenal, Nick Lodolo has made some key command improvements, and Brady Singer has added a secret ingredient, though his ERA has ballooned to over 5.00 since Michael Baumann wrote about him last month.
Series Preview: Seattle Mariners at Chicago White Sox

David Banks-Imagn Images The Mariners bounced back from a 1-5 homestand with a sweep in San Diego, outscoring the Padres 15-3 in three games. The rotation was good, the bullpen was good, and the lineup was good. The Mariners now hold the top spot in the AL West heading into one of the “friendlier” stretches of the season — three of their next six series are against the AL’s cellar dwellers. It comes at a good time, too.
