We\u2019re still waiting for sports to return and, if you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re starting to stream really weird shows, like \u201cMy Strange Addiction,\u201d where you can watch an episode highlighting an adult male and his relationship with 15 pool floats (spoiler: the giraffe float gets most of his attention).<\/p>\n<p>One change: We\u2019re figuring out the best strategies for drafting a fantasy baseball team for a (fingers crossed) 60-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> season.<\/p>\n<p>The key will be constructing your pitching staff. Loading up on high-end hurlers, like Jacob deGrom or Stephen Strasburg, is risky. Not only will it leave your team with big holes on offense, as those top-tier arms have big price tags, but one or two bad starts will do a lot of harm. There is little room for error in this abbreviated season, and their names and price don\u2019t guarantee success. Loading up on non-closers will help your ratios and be cost effective, but they\u2019re drafted to bolster your staff, not lead it. You need starters who will deliver quality innings while limiting damage.<\/p>\n<p>Roto Rage believes you should load up on offense over the first several rounds before targeting cheaper pitching options for the bulk of your rotation. You could start with Milwaukee\u2019s Brandon Woodruff around the seventh round.<\/p>\n<p>Before being sidelined by a strained left oblique in late July last season, Woodruff was 11-3 with a 3.75 ERA, 136 strikeouts over 117\u200a\u00b2\/\u2083 innings and just 29 walks. He even made his first All-Star team.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15936832\"><img alt=\"Brandon Woodruff\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Brandon Woodruff<\/span><span>Bill Kostroun<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Woodruff had solid walk (6.1 percent) and strikeout (29.0 percent) rates, and an 11.6 percent swinging-strike percentage. He also had a 3.01 FIP and an inflated .320 BABIP, which indicates he got unlucky as hitters were not making a lot of hard contact against him.<\/p>\n<p>If a full 162-game slate were being played, Roto Rage likely wouldn\u2019t recommend pulling the trigger on Woodruff at his current 85.69 average draft position, according to Fantasy Alarm, but there\u2019s so much to like about the hard-throwing Brewers ace in this kind of setting.<\/p>\n<p>A look at some other mid- to late-round options to build your rotation:<\/p>\n<p>Before being suspended 80 games after testing positive for a performance enhancing substance, Oakland\u2019s Frankie Montas (107.83 ADP) allowed three earned runs or less in 15 of his 16 starts while going 9-2 with a 2.63 ERA, 1.115 WHIP, 2.2 walks per nine and 9.7 strikeouts per nine. Flamethrowing A\u2019s teammate Jesus Luzardo (113.86) may be an even better, more intriguing option \u2014 especially with no innings limit to be concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego\u2019s Dinelson Lamet (122.43) remains a Roto Rage favorite after his 33.6 percent strikeout rate, .223 opponent average and 14.1 percent swinging strike percentage over his 14 starts in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta\u2019s Max Fried (127.52) finished last season with a 4.02 ERA, but he also had 17 wins, a 24 percent strikeout rate, 6 percent walk rate and a 53 percent groundball rate. The 26-year-old also had a FIP (3.72) and xFIP (3.32), that indicates he was unlucky.<\/p>\n<p>Kenta Maeda (165.86) \u2014 who has a career 3.87 ERA, 1.151 WHIP and 26.4 percent strikeout percentage \u2014 is no longer going to be tossed between the bullpen and the rotation. He\u2019s a full-time starter for an up-and-coming Twins squad.<\/p>\n<p>Another cheap option familiar with the IL who should benefit from the shortened schedule: Angels lefty Andrew Heaney (189.97). Before going 1-3 with an ugly 7.66 ERA and .327 opponent average in September, he was 3-3 with a 3.95 ERA, .222 opponent average and 88 strikeouts in 70\u200a\u00b2\/\u2083 innings. He also recorded the lowest contact rate of his career and 11.1 strikeouts per nine. Considering he has worked more than 106 innings just once in his big-league career, making 10-13 starts should be a piece of cake.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh\u2019s Mitch Keller (234.55) had an unsightly 7.13 ERA, 1.833 WHIP and 3.0 walks per nine over 11 starts in 2019, but it is hard to ignore his 12.2 strikeouts per nine or the 3.19 FIP.<\/p>\n<p>Other options worth a late flier on include the White Sox\u2019s 24-year-old Tommy John surgery returnee Michael Kopech (247.00), 2016 Cy Young winner Rick Porcello (277.40) of the Mets and Toronto\u2019s Nate Pearson (287.35), who had a 2.19 ERA and 10.7 strikeouts per nine over three seasons in the minors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fantasy_pitcher_rankings\"><\/span>Fantasy pitcher rankings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Starters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
