Daily Pitcher projections that are site specific?

Ok I'm new to the baseball monster, after having success with Basketball Monster.  I found the main positions, but how do I find daily pitching rankings that are specific to the fantasy site I'm using like all of the other positions shown under "daily Projections" under "daily tools"?

You can toggle between Hitters and Pitchers using the buttons to the right of "Export to CSV". Is that what you needed?

I have one question that is under this daily pitching topic:

Per the BM value what is the cut off for a recommended start? For example all players valued above 18 are projected to have success. If that number could be provide it would be appreciated.

Depending on the pitcher's price, they may be a deal at any projected value. For example, a cheap pitcher projected at 10 pts would be worth owning if his price was low enough. Is that what you're asking about?

Sorry for not being clear. I am using this tool for another purpose (not draft kings for example) but instead I would use this value to determine if I should stream a pitcher in H2H leagues where there isnt a max on starts. Lets say for example I had the following data for pitcher values off your site:

Gerrit Cole: 18.21

Cole Hamils: 15.3

Wily Peralta: 9.4

Now if a "good" match up is 17 and above I would just start Cole. If the cut off is 9 i would start all three.

Does that clarify my question? Thanks for the response.

It sounds like you're using a points league. If so, why would you bench a starter if there's no limit since they can only add value? Obviously, there's a reason so sorry if I'm missing something.

its not a points league it is h2h cat. The cats are the following: ERA WHIP K W SO

The goal would be to protect against inflating the ERA and WHIP.

Your hypothetical with Cole/Hamels/Peralta is throwing us off. If you're not in a points league and just in a H2H 5x5, then how would any of those values (z-scores) be remotely possible? You should be looking more at values from +2 to -2. In terms of protecting against ratio inflation, our categorical z-scores will show you their projected impact in each of those categories. You generally want to aim for a stream SP with a positive overall z-score, though a lot depends on your specific H2H matchup and where you are in each category with respect to your opponent.

The hypothetical was with respect to daily values

you did howler ever answer my question I should just use the z score thanks for the help

With H2H, we also have the Head to Head Daily page which you can use to plan your week. If you find you're projected to be ahead in the ERA/WHIP categories, you can take a chance with questionable starters. Mid-week, you can also use this tool to see where you stand and see how switching in/out starters will affect your end of week projections vs. your opponent.
