Random pitcher selection in DD games

Does anyone else find that the random pitcher selection for DD games is a bit off? Jacob deGrom is my best pitcher. I have his 2014 flashback card and he is rated 91. I've had his card since game 1 when I pulled him as part of the 10 pack pre-order bonus. I have played 52 DD games and deGrom has only been selected as my pitcher for 3 games!!!

By comparison other pitchers which I acquired much later in my DD are being selected much more often. Yu Darvish selected 13 times, Michael Wacha 11 times, Jose Quintana 7, and then a bunch of lower rated players that I had when I first started out, or players that I added to the active lineup because Inside Edge gave them a rating boost. Right now only Darvish, Wacha, and Quintana are getting selected every game I play. What is also odd is sometimes I'll have the same pitcher selected 3 or 4 games in a row

Unfair isn't really the right word, but this to just sucks.

Re: Random pitcher selection in DD games

I do not like the random selector at all.

I had the exact same problem. Had a Chris Sale card that I sold because after almost 20 games, I got to use him once.

Now I'm faced with that same problem again. Pulled a Jake Arrieta card today. Probably gonna sell him to.

That sucks. I don't mind the random selector so long as it's actually random. 3 out 52 doesn't seem equally random, it feels like your best pitcher's odds are bring weighted against. It really should be 1 in 5 odds, not 3 in 52 odds.

Look at the bright side, you have deGrom. My highest ranked pitcher is an 82.

Re: Random pitcher selection in DD games

There needs to be some adjustment to how it works. My pitchers are Darvish, Tanaka, Iwakuma, Buchholz & Kluber. I've played around 30 games & have used Buchholz & Kluber 10 times each.

Re: Random pitcher selection in DD games

I swear I was coming in to post the EXACT same issue. There is no question to me the odds are favored against your best pitcher. This needs to be addressed.

2 different times I've had bumgarner in my rotation for about 15 - 20 games each time and not once did he get to pitch so I sold him to try and complete collections
