2025 Starting Pitcher Preview, Part 1

Eno and DVR begin Pitcher Week with the first installment of the 2025 Starting Pitcher Preview! This episode focuses on the starting pitchers often drafted among the Top 100 Overall in early fantasy baseball drafts. Should you build your roster around Paul Skenes or Tarik Skubal and take a pitcher in Round 1, or wait a couple of rounds and find a potentially undervalued ace? How much will the Dodgers' use of a six-man rotation impact the value of their top-end starters? And which risers still have another level they could reach in the upcoming season?Rundown2:19 ADP Tier 1a -- Paul Skenes v.
