Two-Start Rostered Pitchers Notes

• Jose Soriano has been the best pitcher of the season. In 37.2 innings, he’s recorded a 0.24 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 and a 5-0 record. The White Sox and Blue Jays are both in the bottom 10 in wOBA against right-handed pitchers.
• Gavin Williams is currently ranked as the 11th starting pitcher in strikeout rate at 34.8%, and the Twins strike out the second-most in the league against righties.
• Cristopher Sanchez has two of the easier matchups for the week. The Marlins are a bottom-12 team in wOBA against lefties, and the Rockies are on the road.

Two-Start Streamer Options Notes

• Peter Lambert has two of the toughest matchups. The Dodgers have the best wOBA against right-handed pitchers, and the Reds at home are always dangerous.
• Ryan Feltner gets the Mets in Colorado and the Phillies on the road. Even though both teams are currently in the bottom three in runs scored on the season, he can’t be trusted.
• Payton Tolle made his season debut on Thursday and looked great against the Yankees. He’s an exciting prospect that we’d love to see stick around in the rotation.
• Christian Scott also made his debut on Thursday after returning from Tommy John surgery. David Peterson made the move to the bullpen but would be available if needed.
• JR Ritchie made his debut for the Braves on Thursday, one day after Didier Fuentes made his debut and was sent back down to Triple-A. It’s unclear if he’ll stick in the rotation by the time his scheduled double-start week comes around.

Scheduling Notes

• Teams With Six Games: TOR, CWS, DET, MIN, ATH, HOU, LAA, SEA, TEX, ATL, PHI, CHC, MIL, PIT, ARI, COL, LAD, SFG
• Teams With Seven Games: BAL, BOS, NYY, TBR, CLE, KCR, MIA, NYM, WSH, CIN, STL, SDP
