We're just a couple of days away from Opening Day, and we've now covered each hitting position in fantasy baseball. The only thing left to do is to look at the other side of the equation, analyzing the pitchers.
The rankings below result from projections and what we call our “numberFire scoreâ€. The score, from a high level, takes a player’s contributions across all relevant scoring categories (5X5 league) and adjusts for position scarcity. It’s all placed in one fine, cute number, but the amount of math that goes behind it is significant. After all, that’s what we love – we love math.
Without further ado, here’s who the algorithms like this season at pitcher.
1. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers
