There are only 39 pitchers starting twice this week and while you have your normal distribution of both good and bad options, it's the guys in the middle who are intriguing.Of the seven pitchers who I call "Solid" headed into fantasy week 18, six are owned in less then 70% of fantasy leagues. This week would be a great week to go trolling for two-start pitchers on the waiver wire.
• Jamie Moyer is only owned in 12% of fantasy leagues
• Randy Wells is only owned in 53% of fantasy leagues
• Ryan Rowland-Smith is only owned in 2% of fantasy leagues
• Mat Latos is only owned in 15% of fantasy leagues
• Brett Anderson is only owned in 27% of fantasy leagues
• Zach Duke is only owned in 67% of fantasy leagues
There's a great chance one or more of these guys is available in your league. Take a look and see if you benefit from their throwing twice next week.
Make sure to get your rosters locked by 12:08 PM ET tomorrow. A game time of just after noon is pretty early.
