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…

Where does Nick Lodolo slot in?
Brutal matchups for him this week and his control issues.
Bottom of the Start at your own risk or top of the Do Not Start IMO.
this list is so inaccurate. many of these pitchers are not lined up for doubles.
I’m seeing some discrepancies as well and will work to correct.
Looks like Randy Vasquez is starting Monday. In a pts league where my offense is not good. Would you give him a shot over Koch?
Is Lodolo missing from this list? @ NYM, vs ATL. Where does he land?
Thanks!
Any lefty or really anyone against the Mets is worth a shot imo. They are as bad as any offense I’ve ever seen right now.
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.
You sure Koch isn’t against the Rays in start 2?
You are right, and I don’t know why the streamer populated Det and Min. That drastically changes his place on the list. I will update.
*UPDATE*
Cabrera to 15-day IL
