Here is a complete look at the fantasy baseball two-start pitchers for week 20. Obviously the top tier pitchers are going to be left in your line up, but here is a look at some of the more border line pitchers for mixed league starts and who they face in those starts.

Two-start pitchers week 20: remember again that the list below is more focused on mixed leagues since in AL or NL only leagues in most cases you do not have the option to rotate too many starting pitchers with the smaller player pool. The pitchers below are listed in alphabetical order by team name per category.

American League:

Start them:

Clay Buchholz (BOS) ~ LAA (Weaver), TOR (Marcum)
John Danks (CHW) ~ @MIN (Baker), @KC (Greinke)
Justin Verlander (DET) ~ @NYY (Sabathia), CLE (Tomlin)
Zack Greinke (KC) ~ CLE (Tomlin), CWS (Danks)
Jered Weaver (LAA) ~ @BOS (Buchholz), @MIN (Baker)
CC Sabathia (NYY) ~ DET (Verlander), SEA (French)
Brett Anderson (OAK) ~ TOR (Marcum), TB (Garza)
David Price (TB) ~ TEX (Lee), @OAK (Anderson)
Matt Garza (TB) ~ TEX (Harden), @OAK (Braden)
Cliff Lee (TEX) ~ @TB (Price), @BAL (Bergesen)
Shaun Marcum (TOR) ~ @OAK (Anderson), @BOS (Buchholz)

Roll the Dice:

Josh Tomlin (CLE) ~ @KC (Greinke), @DET (Verlander)
Max Scherzer (DET) ~ @NYY (Vazquez), CLE (Masterson)
Scott Baker (MIN) ~ CWS (Danks), LAA (Weaver)
Javier Vazquez (NYY) ~ DET (Scherzer), SEA (Fister)
Dallas Braden (OAK) ~ TOR (Cecil), TB (Garza)

Tomlin has been quietly effective in his four starts since being promoted. Just don’ expect a lot of strikeouts from him if you own him or pick him up. Scherzer has been a much better pitcher since returning from a stint at Triple-A, posting a 2.31 ERA in July and holding a 1.93 ERA through two starts in August. Baker is 3-0 in his last four starts and has a 3.46 ERA in two starts vs. the White Sox and allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Angels earlier this season. Vazquez can say what he wants about his velocity being down (which it is) from last season but the biggest problem for him this season has been his lack of control. With 48 walks, he has already surpassed his walk total from last season in 96 less innings. Braden has got back on the win train, going 3-1 in his last four starts and has allowed less than four earned runs in six of his last seven outings.

Sit Them:

Brad Bergesen (BAL) ~ SEA (French), TEX (Lee)
Kevin MIllwood (BAL) ~ SEA (Fister), TEX (Harden)
Luke French (SEA) ~ @BAL (Bergesen), @NYY (Sabathia)
Rich Harden (TEX) ~ @TB (Garza), @BAL (Millwood)

Bergesen has been much better in his last three outings with four runs allowed in 23 innings of work. He has a tough second start match up against Texas and Cliff Lee. Millwood had six straight starts of allowing exactly five runs before allowing four runs combined in his last two starts. He has not picked up a win since back on June 24th. Harden has only gone six innings or more in three of his last 10 starts and now has 50 walks in 74 1/3 innings. His ERA and WHIP can kill your fantasy baseball team in a two-start week at a time when you can least afford it.

National League:

Start them:

Tommy Hanson (ATL) ~ WAS (Olsen), @CHC (Wells)
Chad Billingsley (LAD) ~ @ATL (Jurrjens), CIN (Cueto)
Clayton Kershaw (LAD) ~ COL (Francis), CIN (Arroyo)
Jon Niese (NYM) ~ @HOU (Happ), @PIT (McDonald)
Johan Santana (NYM) ~ @HOU (Rodriguez), @PIT (Duke)
Roy Oswalt (HOU) ~ SF (Zito), WAS (Hernandez)
Jon Garland (SD) ~ @CHC (Wells), @MIL (Parra)
Barry Zito (SF) ~ @PHI (Oswalt), @STL (Wainwright)

Roll the Dice:

Daniel Hudson (AZ) ~ CIN (Arroyo), COL (Francis)
Jair Jurrjens (ATL) ~ LAD (Billingsley), @CHC (Gorzelanny)
Tom Gorzelanny (CHC) ~ SD (Correia), ATL (Jurrjens)
Randy Wells (CHC) ~ SD (Garland), ATL (Hanson)
Bronson Arroyo (CIN) ~ @ARI (Hudson), @LAD (Kershaw)
Jeff Francis (COL) ~ @LAD (Kershaw), @ARI (Hudson)
Ricky Nolasco (FLA) ~ @PIT (Duke), HOU (Rodriguez)
Wandy Rodriguez (HOU) ~ NYM (Santana), @FLA (Nolasco)
James McDonald (LAD) ~ FLA (Volstad), NYM (Niese)
Kevin Correia (SD) ~ @CHC (Gorzelanny), @MIL (Narveson)

Arroyo is somewhat of a conundrum with his strikeout rate decreasing yet at the same time he has improved his batting average against the last several seasons. He always seems to get bombed every fifth or sixth start, but in between that, he is usually pretty solid. Ignore the overall stats for Wandy and check out his recent body of work, in which he has allowed one run or less in seven of his last 10 starts, including striking out six or more in seven of those outings. Jurrjens has been basically the same pitcher as last season with a slighlty elevated home run rate which has pushed his ERA higher. Gorzelanny went 4-0 in July despite a 1.63 WHIP and is 0-1 in August with a 4.85 ERA. Can help out with strikeouts but your ERA and WHIP could get dinged next week. Nolasco is 8-2 in his last 10 starts and has dropped his batting average against by 40 points since the All-Star break. Maybe the pressure is off McDonald now that he is out of Los Angeles. He can rack up some good strikeout numbers but has been inconsistent as a starter in his career. Correia has won four of his last five starts, although he has been hit or miss in the strikeout category with zero strikeouts in two of those appearances.

Sit Them:

Chris Volstad (FLA) ~ @PIT (McDonald), HOU (Happ)
J.A. Happ (PHI) ~ NYM (Niese), @FLA (Volstad)
Zach Duke (PIT) ~ FLA (Nolasco), NYM (Santana)
Scott Olsen (WAS) ~ @ATL (Hanson), @PHI (Oswalt)

Volstad has had a WHIP close to two the past two months and has 13 walks against 11 strikeouts in his last 24 2/3 innings. With more walks than strikeouts, I don’t want Happ anywhere near my rotation this late in the season. Outside of July when Duke had a 3.18 ERA in three starts with a 1.06 WHIP, he has been of little use to fantasy baseball teams this season. Olsen was fooling us for awhile with two runs or less allowed in six of seven outings before giving up 12 runs in his last 7 1/3 innings.
