Here is a complete look at the fantasy baseball two-start pitchers for week 22. 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.

2 start pitchers week 22: 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:

Brian Duensing (MIN) ~ DET (Galarraga), TEX (Lee)
Phil Hughes (NYY) ~ OAK (Mazzaro), TOR (Cecil)
Trevor Cahill (OAK) ~ @NYY (Moseley), LAA (Santana)
Felix Hernandez (SEA) ~ LAA (Santana), CLE (Masterson)
C.J. Wilson (TEX) ~ @KC (Davies), @MIN (Duensing)

Roll the Dice:

Josh Beckett (BOS) ~ @BAL (Matusz), CWS (Buehrle)
Mark Buehrle (CHW) ~ @CLE (Talbot), @BOS (Beckett)
Armando Galarraga (DET) ~ @MIN (Duensing), @KC (Davies)
Dan Haren (LAA) ~ @SEA (Pauley), @OAK (Mazzaro)
Dustin Moseley (NYY) ~ OAK (Cahill), TOR (Rzepczynski)
Vin Mazzaro (OAK) ~ @NYY (Hughes), LAA (Haren)
David Pauley (SEA) ~ LAA (Haren), CLE (Talbot)
Wade Davis (TB) ~ TOR (Cecil), @BAL (Matusz)
Brett Cecil (TOR) ~ @TB (Davis), @NYY (Hughes)
Ervin Santana (LAA) ~ SEA (Hernandez), @OAK (Cahill)

Beckett has been rocked in three of his past four starts, allowing 22 runs in 22 1/3 innings. He allowed two runs in seven innings in his lone start against Baltimore and has yet to face the White Sox this season. If you are trying to catch up in stats, then you probably have to take your chances and hope for two good starts. If you are trying to protect your team ERA and WHIP, it is probably best to have him on the bench. Buerhle is 6-3 in his last 10 starts, allowing three runs or less in eight of those starts. Galarraga has been better the second half of the season despite only one win in eight starts. ERA of 3.60 with 1.28 WHIP plus uptick in his strikeout rate gives him the benefit of the doubt for now. Haren’s numbers haven been slightly better in the American League with a drop in strikeouts as he now faces a designated hitter. His batting average against in both leagues has been much higher than in 2009 giving some cause for concern for his value in keeper leagues. Moseley is good for wins but allowing a home run every five innings does not bode well for long term success. Mazzaro has not won since July 24th despite allowing three runs or less in five straight starts. Pauley has two home starts where he has a 2.66 ERA and 1.10 WHIP vs. 5.40 and 1.54 on the road. Davis has not lost since June 27th and has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts. Cecil has carried over his performance from the first half to the second with a slightly lower ERA and a slightly higher WHIP. His start on August 14th when he allowed seven runs was the only time in his last nine outings that he allowed more than three runs. Santana has not been as sharp since the All-Star break and faces two tough opposing starters next week making him a tough start.

Sit Them:

Brian Matusz (BAL) ~ BOS (Beckett), TB (Davis)
Justin Masterson (CLE) ~ CWS (Jackson), @SEA (Hernandez)
Mitch Talbot (CLE) ~ CWS (Buehrle), @SEA (Pauley)
Kyle Davies (KC) ~ TEX (Wilson), DET (Galarraga)

Talbot has not won since June 27th and is 1-6 in his last 10 starts. Masterson allows too many hits and too many walks to have success as a starter on a consistent basis. Matusz has been better of late, but has a 6.06 ERA vs. Tampa Bay with a 1.53 WHIP, his second start next week. Against Boston, his numbers are 2.41 and 1.18.

National League:

Start them:

Mike Minor (ATL) ~ NYM (Niese), @FLA (Sanabia)
Travis Wood (CIN) ~ MIL (Wolf), @STL (Carpenter)
Hiroki Kuroda (LAD) ~ PHI (Halladay), SF (Sanchez)
Jon Niese (NYM) ~ @ATL (Minor), @CHC (Zambrano)
Roy Halladay (PHI) ~ @LAD (Kuroda), MIL (Bush)
Jonathan Sanchez (SF) ~ COL (De La Rosa), @LAD (Kuroda)

Roll the Dice:

Jair Jurrjens (ATL) ~ NYM (Misch), @FLA (Johnson)
Carlos Zambrano (CHC) ~ PIT (Maholm), NYM (Niese)
Jorge De La Rosa (COL) ~ @SF (Sanchez), @SD (Richard)
J.A. Happ (HOU) ~ STL (Westbrook), @ARI (Saunders)
Randy Wolf (MIL) ~ @CIN (Wood), @PHI (Kendrick)
Kyle Kendrick (PHI) ~ @LAD (Monasterios), MIL (Wolf)
Wade LeBlanc (SD) ~ @ARI (Saunders), COL (Rogers)
Jake Westbrook (STL) ~ @HOU (Happ), CIN (Wood)

Throw out Jurrjens last start at Colorado and he had went four straight starts with three runs allowed or less. Allowed four runs in seven innings in his start against Florida back on July 25th. Zambrano has been good in the ERA department but his control has been Carlos Marmol like with 16 walks in 24 innings.  De La Rosa has been on a roll, allowing three runs or less in seven straight starts while striking out five or more in six of those outings. Happ has had only one really bad start since the All-Star break and it was against St. Louis, allowing seven runs in one inning. The same team he happens to face in his first start next week. Other than that start, the other six starts were all three runs or less. Wolf has won three of his last four starts and allowed two runs or less in four or his last six appearances. Kendrick has been streaky, either pitching very well or getting hit hard. He has been much better on the road with a 3.87 ERA and 1.28 WHIP vs. 5.50 and 1.46 at home. If you have daily or bi-weekly transactions, keep that in mind. LeBlanc walks a fine line to get wins in San Diego, usually needing to surrender three runs or less to get a decision. He has allowed four or more runs in four of his last 10 starts. He just faced Arizona this week, allowing three runs in 6 2/3 innings.  The move to the National League has agreed with Westbrook, sporting a 1.10 WHIP and striking out a batter per inning.

Sit Them:

Joe Saunders (AZ) ~ SD (LeBlanc), HOU (Happ)
Esmil Rogers (COL) ~ @SF (Bumgarner), @SD (LeBlanc)
Alejandro Sanabia (FLA) ~ WAS (Marquis), ATL (Minor)
Paul Maholm (PIT) ~ @CHC (Zambrano), WAS (Marquis)
Jason Marquis (WAS) ~ @FLA (Sanabia), @PIT (Marquis)
Pat Misch (NYM) ~ @ATL (Jurrjens), @CHC (Coleman)

Saunders was supposed to see a drop in his numbers with the move to the National League, instead, his ERA and WHIP have both gone up. He has allowed a home run in eight straight starts. Maholm is 2-6 in his last 10 starts and with little strikeouts to speak of, not much incentive to have him in your rotation. Sanabia is too unpredictable to use at this point of the season in mixed leagues unless you are desperate for wins.
