Kind of depends on what year you are playing. Do starters frequently go the distance or are they pulled early, is it a high run era where there are a lot of comebacks or a low scoring era with infrequent comebacks, Isyour schedule set where all teams have the same day off so aces pitch against mostly other aces and your #4 starter pitches against #4 starters or do teams have scattered days off so your #1 starter will start some games against other teams #2, #3 or #4 starter, etc.?
I usually just backup a game after setting it up then fast sim 20 years or more to see what kind of stat output I get. Then restore my backup and set the options based on my test (fast sim) league. And then I am ready to go.

I always, always test a league this way just to make sure everything is set correctly.

In my Random 144 game 1975 League 5 man highest rested rotation. If I draft 5 rounds, then the top pitcher will usually have about 22 wins. If I draft for 6 rounds, then the top pitcher will have about 20 wins. If I draft for 7 rounds, then the top pitcher will have about 16 or 17 wins. It all depends on your setup so there is no one answer. This also applies to all the other HOF options.
