Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers: Rankings & Waiver Wire Pickups (Week 20)

Two start starting pitchers can help win fantasy baseball championships. It’s an incredibly important strategy for fantasy baseball managers, especially those in weekly leagues as you make your start/sit lineup decisions and place waiver wire bids. Even in daily leagues it’s important to be able to grab the most useful arms that can start for you twice in a week, especially if you are dealing with transaction limits. Here’s a look at our two start starting pitcher rankings for the week.

You can also check out our full probable pitchers report for the next two weeks. You can use that in coordination with our Streaming Pitcher Planner and Two-Start Pitcher Projections to plan your fantasy baseball rotation.

What are two start pitchers?
Two Start Pitchers are starters scheduled to pitch twice during a given week. Top options can provide an edge by boosting counting stats (K, W, etc). Streaming pitchers is a popular fantasy strategy that often consists of targeting inexpensive two start pitchers that have favorable matchups for the upcoming week.
