Razzballers, we have arrived at the final installment of the 2026 weekly Two-Start Pitcher Rankings!
My goal was to always provide an accurate ranking (in my opinion) but more importantly, an accurate list of which arms with two-starts each week. Ups and downs as I figured it out a system early on (still not perfect), but after this week it will be very difficult to do that. The openers are already starting to creep in when pulling the lists of Two-Starters. With the MLB Wildcard round starting on 9/29 next week’s probable starters will be changing as the week goes on.
Let me know if there are any categories you’d like added for next year, possibly a points league specific section. Feedback from the community is always welcome especially if it’s something other than “do a better job.” :)
Good luck this week everyone!

Best feedback I can give regarding anything that has to do with upcoming weekly expectations such as 2 start pitchers for lineup locks;
Do not write your article until the day or night before the upcoming scoring week. There are so many changes that happen Fri-Sun, that if you rely on what you thought was going to happen 3 days ago, your list of 2 start SP’s will inevitably be wrong each and every week. This is exactly what happened to your articles this year. The most important aspect for any reader of this is accuracy. Everything else is a guessing game and personal opinions. Just don’t get facts wrong, it makes everything else irrelevant.
Streaming Reynaldo vs CHC tonight? I am already starting Mize as being the underdog in playoff matchup!
Starting Reynaldo Lopez tonight? 16 team H2H each cat. I am already rolling out Mize due to already being a underdog in the playoff matchup.
Where’s Davis Martin?
Any reason why Logan Henderson is void of a starting assignment this week?
Good stuff, thank you……Mahle or Messick ROS?
thanks for all the work—-i found it helpful
