Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers: Rankings & Pickups (Week 10)

You should be grinding fantasy baseball two-start pitchers to give you an advantage over your competition.

Each week, I will be giving you a breakdown of the two-start options for your fantasy leagues, broken up into the following tiers:

  • Must Start: Pitchers you have to start because of their talent and/or matchups.
  • Should Start: Pitchers that are rostered in most formats and probably should be in your lineup.
  • Here We Go: Pitchers that you are probably starting in most formats, but have some level of risk to them.
  • Feeling Lucky: Pitchers that are risky, but viable in deeper formats.
  • Desperate Measures: Pitchers you shouldn’t use unless you have no other choice.

Make sure you are aware that when making fantasy baseball start or sit decisions that these projected two-start pitchers are subject to change.

Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers: Week 10

Let’s explore this week’s fantasy baseball two-start pitchers, ranging from must-start options to those you should probably avoid.

Must Start

Should Start

Bryce Elder (SP – ATL) vs. TOR, vs. PIT

Bryce Elder has pitched well this season, recording a 2.50 ERA and 61 strikeouts over 71 innings. However, the underlying skills do not support him, and he is coming off his first really bad start of the season.

You are probably still rolling with Elder in these matchups, but there is a risk of regression here.

Michael McGreevy (SP – STL) vs. TEX, vs CIN

Michael McGreevy has been fantastic — a 2.98 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 60.1 innings. He has been extremely lucky so far, with an xBA of 5.63. The regression will come, but these are two good matchups at home, so you are using him until he falters.

Emmet Sheehan (SP – LAD) at ARI, vs. LAA

Emmet Sheehan has been rocky this season, but he has been better as of late, recording two quality starts in his last three outings. Sheehan has two good matchups this week and is backed by a Dodgers team that will give him a chance to win. Fire him up.

Michael Soroka (SP, RP – ARI) vs. LAD, vs. WSH

Michael Soroka has been great across his 61 innings, recording an 8.65 ERA and 60 strikeouts. He has been lucky with his low home run and strand rates, though.

Soroka has two tough matchups at home this week, but he has been too good not to use until regression comes

Connelly Early (SP – BOS) vs. BAL, at NYY

Connelly Early has been very good this season — a 2.95 ERA and 57 strikeouts over 61 innings. He has been lucky with a really low 2.48 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) and a high 88% strand rate.

The back half of this two-step is tough, but you are using Early in most spots until he regresses.

Here We Go

Griffin Jax (SP, RP – TBR) vs. DET, at MIA

Griffin Jax has been pretty good since transitioning to a starter, but his stuff hasn’t been as good. He has two pretty good matchups against struggling offenses, so he is worth streaming despite the risk that he doesn’t go deep enough to win games.

Sandy Alcantara (SP – MIA) at WSH, vs. TBR

Sandy Alcantara has struggled lately, allowing 14 earned runs in his last two starts. He at least went deep into the games, but he has struggled with command.

Alcantara has two tough matchups this week, so there is some risk the bad times continue, but he is too talented a pitcher not to get back on track eventually.

Eduardo Rodriguez (SP – ARI) vs. LAD, vs. WSH

Eduardo Rodriguez has been great this season, but a lot of it has been good luck. He has two really tough matchups to the point where you shouldn’t be starting him in shallower formats.

Cade Cavalli (SP – WSH) vs. MIA, at ARI

Cade Cavalli has been better lately, but I don’t know how much I trust him because he’s gotten lucky to get out of some jams. He has a good set of matchups, though, so he is a good gamble to take this week.

Feeling Lucky

Joey Cantillo (SP, RP – CLE) at NYY, at TEX

Joey Cantillo has been up and down this season, posting a 3.57 ERA but a 1.40 WHIP. He has a tough matchup at the start of the week, but a good one at the end, so there is a risk/reward equation that you have to consider.

David Sandlin (SP, RP – CWS) at MIN, at PHI

David Sandlin is a high-upside prospect who has a ton of strikeout potential but struggles with walks. He didn’t walk anyone in his first start, but they will come. He could rack up a ton of strikeouts, but there is a risk if he can’t find the zone.

Connor Prielipp (SP – MIN) vs. CWS, vs. KCR

Connor Prielipp has struggled as of late, allowing 11 earned runs in his last two starts. However, he got really unlucky in both outings, and his underlying numbers are much better than the surface stats.

Prielipp has a tough matchup to start the week, but an easier one at the end.

Desperate Measures
