Razzballers!
Welcome back to another week of Two-Start pitcher rankings!
Mr. Trey Yesavage is this week’s SP1 and man has he been good posting back-to-back quality starts and while going toe to toe with Cam Schlitter and the Yankees in his last start.
K% is up, BB% is down, an ERA of 1.07 (xERA of 1.80) with a Hard Hit % of 25.4. There is a lot to love in the profile, and his pitch mix stays pretty simple with 4-Seam, Split, and Slider.
To a bigger point here I hope we are all enjoying the holiday weekend spending time with our families. It’s important to take time and remember the military personnel who paid the ultimate sacrifice in order for us to have these freedoms in our great nation.
And now onto this week’s rankings…
Start Your Studs-
Trey Yesavage: vs MIA, @BAL

Ben Brown: @PIT, @STL –
Merrill Kelly: @SF, @SEA
Tanner Bibee: vs WSH, vs BOS
(Two) Start At Your Own Risk– (High Risk/High Reward)
Ranger Suarez: vs ATL, @CLE – He’s been good, but I don’t trust it.
Bryce Miller: @ATH, vs ARI
Jesus Luzardo: @SD, @LAD – Brutal matchups this week just as Luzardo was trending up.

Do Not Start- Not a lot here I would start, but maybe for one matchup only.
Kumar Rocker: vs HOU, vs KC – He’s better with an opener.
Anthony Kay: vs MIN, vs DET
Tatsuya Imai: @TEX, vs MIL – Welcome to the Do Not Start list.
Aaron Civale: vs SEA, vs NYY
Zack Littell: vs CLE, vs SD
Griffin Canning: vs PHI, @WSH
Steven Matz: @BAL, vs LAA
Kyle Freeland: @COL, vs SF – NEVER ROCKIES
Kochanawitz and Kelly over some of those others? Whoa
Favorable matchups give them a fantasy boost IMOD
Koch had the Dodgers and Toronto so it’s a big boost to get Detroit and Minnesota. Six out of his last eight starts have gone 6IP and he has 5QS so far this season. He’s definitely an arm I’ve snagged off the wire this week to stream after doubting him earlier.
Kelley has 3W in a row with only 5ER between them. I see him trending up and being a potentially strong play this week.
*UPDATE*
Cabrera to 15-day IL
