Starts and Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups for Fantasy Baseball (June 2 - June 8)

MacKenzie Gore - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB News

Nick's fantasy baseball starts/sits, expert advice for all starting pitcher matchups for June 2 - June 8 (2025). Set your winning fantasy baseball lineups.

It's time to toe the rubber for another week with our starting pitcher starts/sits for fantasy baseball Week 10- Monday, June 2 through Sunday, June 8. Whether you're hunting for volume, strikeouts, or wins, we've baked it all into a tidy table for you. Keep us bookmarked for every start/sit option and possible two-start decisions for the season!

For 13 years running, we have been writing this Starting Pitcher Starts and Sits series weekly here at RotoBaller. I'm Nick Mariano, and I'll take us through the 2025 season. All types of firepower go into bringing you this piece each week as we provide a beloved series for our readers.

New readers should absorb the section below to learn the column's aim and how best to use this tool, while veterans can proceed to the guide. We wish you the best of luck with your fantasy baseball starting pitcher lineup decisions as we all try to calculate the optimal decisions for our squads. You know what degree of risk to accept by this point in the season, so proceed accordingly.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

Start/Sit Data Overview

Ahead of each week of the fantasy baseball season, we publish the table below. We have the probable starters for every game of the week and a grade for them on a 0-100 scale. The intent is to give you advice and inspire confidence (or lack thereof) in your decisions to start or sit certain pitchers.

Please note that beyond the usual "Start" and "Sit" labels, we've expanded on the old "context-dependent" section to break it down further with "Lean Sit," "Lean Start," and true 50/50 "Coin Flip" designations. This is because different leagues call for different actions, and those in start-sit purgatory may be worth the gamble to some.

Also, we put the arms best projected to start or get bulk innings or actionable arms who may return from the injured list or be called up. Still, some situations are fluid, and we update ASAP to reflect accurate information. The early season means plenty of jostling around as injuries crop up and managers settle into routines, so check back frequently!

The "starts" category includes pitchers you'd likely start in every league. The "sits" are pitchers you likely sit in every league.

The 40-60 range will mean it is close, and it's up to you to decide based on your league settings or team needs (wins, strikeouts, etc.), how deep your league is, which roto/points categories are scored, and so on.

Here are your starts and sits for what we're calling Week 9 of the fantasy season, which covers June 2 through June 8. Let's toe that rubber!

 

Week 10 Start/Sit Recommendations (June 2 - June 8)

Updated start/sit recommendations for this week's MLB games. This chart is updated daily as probable starters are constantly changing with postponements, injuries, etc. Scroll down further for a color-coded chart.
