It still amazes me Robbie Ray gets no love, being the best overall pitcher in the game. I think I’ve faced him once over the last 3 months…no one uses him at all
I have Ray at P5. But I get lit up when I use a left handed pitcher for some reason. So online I don’t use him much.

His stats look good but his pitch mix is suspect. It doesn't appear he has a really good out pitch. Yeah the slider is nice but the 4seam and change wont have ton of speed differential. Im not sure how effective the Knuckle Curve is this year, so maybe that makes a difference.

What makes Chris Sale so good? His price is RIDICULOUS right now, and I used him early on and wasnt overly impressed... I know people talk about his release or whatever but his h/9 is like 101, if I remember correctly, which is very "meh"...

I have a rotation of Degrom, Ohtani, Verlander, Burnes and Ryan. Verlander has been getting hit around lately. Degrom is like all or nothing. I think he had a 14k game, allowed 3 hits but they were all homers. I kind of like Burnes, Ohtani has been a surprise for me. Anyone else I should be using? I figured Maddux and Orel would be great if I make it to the 700 level. But I stink so I hover around 500.
Get Hunter Greene
So Good

I mean you could also try to pitch without outlier on all star. What a concept! Learn to actually pitch instead of spamming high fastballs until your opponent cranks one and you quit…
I don’t have a single outlier starter in my rotation, but believe me, I face those guys every game. P4 Verlander today, P4 Ryan yesterday…
If you can get guys out in all star without spamming outlier fastballs, you might actually get better, but that’s just me.

My starting 5 right now are
Arrieta
Kluber
Webb
Buehler
BurnesGrove, Verlandet, and Ryan were my favorite pitchers but I've p5 them so I don't use them anymore. Also p5 Ohtani, deGrom, and 93 Burnes. Ohtani is bad on All Star, but on HOF and above he was one my best pitchers while also being able to hit.
I think overall it really depends on what difficulty you mostly play on. I find Arrieta the best pitcher in the game at higher difficulties. Overall my top 5 is....
Arrieta
Verlander
Grove
Ryan
Ohtani (avoid on All Star at all cost) -
degrom, verlander, I think need to be everyons rotation
I go arietta, klub, webb. I like orel a lot as well. lefty is the only left I can think that I like -
I sold Arrieta to get 99 Finest Trout. Sounds dumb, but I made +200k on the sale from what i bought him at and Trout has gone STUUUUPID since I got him.
3 ranked games, 8hits: 4 home runs, 1 triple, 2 doubles and a single.
My Pitchers are:
Verlander, De Grom, Charlie Morton (hes a monster), Walker Buehler, Corbin Burnes.
I sometimes take De Grom out for 99 Cole Hamels, who is insanely underrated. -
Raise your hand if you do not use DeGrom or Verlander…
-
I would think the top 5 would change depending on if you're playing on All-Star, HOF, or Legend difficulty.
I would also think that pitchers with off speed movement in their pitches would be better on the lower difficulties.
