Week 17 Two Start Pitchers
-
Updated: July 29, 2017
After losing Clayton Kershaw and Stephen Strasburg this week fantasy owners needed the week 17 two start pitchers to relatively good to get over the disappointment. Well the fantasy god have provided with headliners Chris Sale and Madison Bumgarner heading a group that goes 18 deep for 12 team leagues and 33 deep for 14 team leagues. There are a lot of interesting names pitching and even if you don’t own some of these guys getting to watch them pitch twice in a week is a bonus.
Tune in each week to hear the team discuss the previous week and take a look forward at what we can hope to expect in the coming week. We will be discussing waiver wire, start sit along with all the major topics surrounding the world of fantasy baseball.

- Jeff Samardzija has had a much better season than the numbers suggest and with two starts in Oakland and San Fran I think he can have a really good week.
- Luis Severino, Jimmy Nelson and Sean Manaea have been fantastic this year and I can’t see that stopping this week.
- Gio Gonzalez has surprised the fantasy wold with his performances this year but with the Cubs starting to find their rhythm I think he could have a tough second start. He is my last must start in 10 team leagues.
- Cole Hamels has a real chance to get his season rolling nicely with two decent starts.
- Felix Hernandez won’t benefit from two road starts but he should still be usable in a 12 team league.
- I don’t like these starts for Michael Fulmer and his strikeout rate isn’t blowing anyone anyway so in 12 team leagues I could make an argument for not starting him.
- Jake Arrieta has two really tough starts but the name value means you will still have to consider him in 12 teamers.
- The start in Baltimore concerns me for Duffy but the start at home against Seattle could be good.
- Masahiro Tanaka has been so up and down and whilst I want to trust him in 12 teams leagues I am going to have to think twice because double the starts doubles the chances of a blow-up.
- Jose Berrios gets to start against San Diego which is always going to put him on consideration but I’m worried what could happen in Texas. He is m last maybe in 12 team leagues.
- Two decent starts for Drew Pomeranz but I just don’t trust him enough to use him in 12 teamers.
- Alex Cobb has been really good lately but these are two starts which could get messy quick. Wouldn’t be using in anything shallower than 14 team leagues.
- Charlie Morton through Mike Fiers are all must use in 14 team leagues.
- I really hate the two starts for Kenta Maeda so I am going to avoid using him if possible in 14 teamers.
- Paul Blackburn is my 14 team gamble if I want to go left field with my choice. These are two starts which could be good and if I need to take that gamble he would be my man.
- Patrick Corbin and Steven Matz both have a start that absolutely terrifies me and for that reason they are 15/16 team league only. They are my last two who fall into this category thi week. The rest you would have to be nuts to want to throw out there.
