Starts and Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups for Fantasy Baseball (September 8 - September 14)

Clayton Kershaw - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Starting Pitchers, Starts and Sits

Nick's fantasy baseball starts/sits, expert advice for all starting pitcher matchups for September 8 - September 14 (2025). Set your winning fantasy baseball lineups.

We're another week closer to the end of the fantasy baseball season, which we're finishing strong thanks to our starting pitcher starts/sits for fantasy baseball Week 24 - Monday, September 8 through Sunday, September 14. This column provides readers with who is pitching, the opponent, and a confidence/startability score based on an array of metrics. Keep us bookmarked for every start/sit option and two-start decision that has you seeking guidance.

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 must-read series for our readers.

Newcomers should be sure to read the section below to learn the column's goal and how best to use this tool, while long-time RotoBallers can proceed to the guide. We wish you the best of luck with your fantasy baseball starting pitcher decisions, but ideally, we create our own luck with informed decision-making. September can test us all, but we will come out on top!

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. Rosters expanding could see teams get more bullish with bullpen games, so we'll be sure to stay on top of those assignments.

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 24 of the fantasy season and covers September 8 through September 14.

 

Week 24 Start/Sit Recommendations (September 8 - September 14)
