If you hit your cap on a certain day, ESPN counts all games above and beyond that, but not on following days. So with this plan I would get 2 extra starts over the cap.
How shady is it to purposely alter my lineup to get 2 extra starts again the cap?
Is it less shady if I was purposely starting bad pitchers the first 40-50% of the season with no idea there was a starts cap and accidentally stumbled across it?
No expert, but initial reaction is if the system allows you to do it, it's not shady at all.
Didn't even know there was such a thing as a start cap.
