All rights reserved. With six weeks left to the season, wins are a closely contested category in most Rotisserie leagues. While forecasting Ws over a short period is always a crapshoot, look for opportunities as well as talent. Starters on contending teams are the most obvious source - not only because their teams have plenty of wins to share but also because they will seldom be allowed to pitch badly enough to hurt your other numbers. If these types of pitchers are not available, go for the best available talent instead.
Rookies coming up from the minors are another potential source of wins.
While astute fantasy leaguers normally avoid newly-promoted young pitchers on the assumption that they will struggle on their second trip around the league, that's a lesser concern with a late promotion. Many first-timers will have an advantage in their first few starts until the scouting reports make their rounds, which in this case would be after you've already reaped their benefits. Again, start by looking for talent. A final, less certain strategy is to play to the schedule. Look for pitchers on teams that will be facing weaker foes.
