    Roto can get boring pretty quick if there's a clear runaway, and it takes much more analysis and upkeep to stay in the thick of things and on top of it all.

    H2H is easier for a busy lifestyle. Week to week, every matchup is a new shot, set your lineup for the week and you can forget it (although this year has been tougher to do that). My preference is H2H.
    I think someday (once I have kids) I may transition to weekly H2H. I believe Roto is normally weekly? I think?

    Depends how you set it up I suppose. You can set it to weekly, for sure, but I've only ever played in daily leagues. And with the way you end up with random pitching changes sometimes, daily makes much more sense.

    I just always set my lineup for the week and pop in periodically to check and tweak it if something changes.

    I think the original baseball set up was ROTO when needing to manually do the stats from the newspaper. Too hard to set up for H2H, this is a long time ago though.

    I prefer H2H in every league. Makes constructing rosters more interesting where ROTO everyone just needs BPA during drafts and off the Waiver Wire.

    Roto baseball was all I played for 15 yrs. It depends if you prefer a series of sprints or 1 long marathon. I tired of the marathon so I went to H2H but Roto doesn't lie when concerning who the best team is and what managers want to put in effort. Another thing I liked about Roto was there is not any blind SP streaming to win a cat or two every week unless you want to spend the entire year correcting ERA & WHIP. A little more thought on SP start/sits.

    Good luck to those in the finals. "Just a bit outside" for me this year but it's been a common theme. Ready for a full season!

    I do like the aspect of streaming not being much of an option. Don't get me wrong I'll use it in H2H... But I still hate it.

    Agreed..that's why transaction limits are important imo. Fine line with the # of transactions so it doesn't become who streams the most. The absolute worst in H2H is playing someone who isn't putting in the effort and still losing the matchup. I'm sure we've all been there at some point.

    Been playing roto for years and is my preference. Just enjoy the season-long aspect of managing more as it feels more earned. It has nothing to do with this league's regular season success and coming up short in the playoffs.

    Do you use GS per roster slot in your Roto league(s)? That was the only way I enjoyed Roto.

    Yeah 162 games per hitting slot and an innings limit for pitchers. That's the only way I play roto as well.

    Yeah I'm pleased my team has made it respectable after that horrible start. Still, a lot has to go right to overturn the deficit but happy to have a chance!
