Week 24 starting-pitcher waiver wire for 2025 (Sept 8-14) highlights free-agent arms rostered 30-50% in Yahoo! leagues, led by Noah Cameron, Luis Morales, Justin Verlander, Ryan Bergert, and Payton Tolle. Cameron and Morales offer respectable ratios and wins as the Royals and Athletics stay in playoff chase; Verlander has surged with multiple strong outings. Deeper leagues get a look at Ian Seymour, Emmet Sheehan, Shane Smith, Martin Perez, Zebby Matthews, and Brandon Sproat (all under 30%), plus late-week streams from Stephen Kolek, Javier Assad, Michael Lorenzen, and Johan Oviedo.

Targets emphasize pitchers with ongoing rotation roles, improving peripherals, and favorable next-week matchups (Guardians, Angels, Rockies, Athletics). The piece stresses staying active and proactive as the schedule winds down, with several under-the-radar arms offering multi-start potential or favorable opponents in Week 24.

Blue Jays vs Yankees headlines Friday’s MLB slate, with an over-friendly vibe driven by strong early-season offenses and paired aces. The Jays’ Gausman is squarely in the mix against Schlittler in a test of power versus control, while the Rays and Guardians ride hot bats and stable arms. Padres-Rockies over 11.0 and Jays-Yankees over 8.5 anchor the bets, as inflated moneylines elsewhere push more emphasis onto offense-heavy plays and bullpen leverage for fantasy value.

For fantasy angles, lean into offenses showing recent pop and park-friendly targets, especially in AL East matchups and Coors Field-adjacent intrigue. Identify games with clear bullpen usage trends and leverage in late innings to maximize point upside without overexposing risky arms.
