Here is a complete look at the fantasy baseball two-start pitchers for week 19. 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 19: 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:

Jon Lester (BOS) ~ @NYY (Hughes), @TEX (Lee)
David Price (TB) ~ @DET (Galarraga), BAL (Arrieta)
Ricky Romero (TOR) ~ BOS (Matsuzaka), @LAA (Haren)
C.J. Wilson (TEX) ~ NYY (Burnett), BOS (Matsuzaka)

Roll the Dice:

Daisuke Matsuzaka (BOS) ~ @TOR (Romero), @TEX (Lewis)
Edwin Jackson (CHW) ~ @BAL (Matusz), DET (Porcello)
Freddy Garcia (CHW) ~ MIN (Baker), DET (Galarraga)
Ervin Santana (LAA) ~ KC (Sullivan), TOR (Romero)
Scott Baker (MIN) ~ @CWS (Garcia), OAK (Mazzaro)
Phil Hughes (NYY) ~ BOS (Lester), @KC (O’Sullivan)
A.J. Burnett (NYY) ~ @TEX (Wilson), @KC (Bullington)
Vin Mazzaro (OAK) ~ @SEA (Fister), @MIN (Baker)
Doug Fister (SEA) ~ OAK (Mazzaro), @CLE (Masterson)

If you look at Fister’s year-to-date numbers it looks like he is doing okay, but in reality he has not won a game since May 14th. He has yet to face Cleveland this year and has allowed two runs in 12 innings vs. Oakland this season. I always start Dice-K when he has two starts, who always seems to get wins for Boston collecting eight so far in 16 starts, although he will have two tough match ups next week. Likewsie for Garcia who has 10 wins and is 5-1 in his last 10 starts. He has allowed three runs or less in eight of his past 10 outings. Santana had been on a roll with three runs allowed or less five of six starts before stumbling in his last two outings. He has a 2.93 ERA in two starts vs. the Royals and a 2.00 ERA in two starts against the Blue Jays.Baker is trying to get his season turned around with three solid outings in a row, allowing five runs in his last 20 1/3 innings pitched. Mazzaro has allowed two runs allowed or less in six of his last eight starts while going 4-2.

Sit Them:

Jake Arrieta (BAL) ~ @CLE (Masterson), @TB (Price)
Justin Masterson (CLE) ~ BAL (Arrieta), SEA (Fister)
Bryan Bullington (KC) ~ @LAA (Haren), NYY (Burnett)
Sean O’Sullivan (KC) ~ @LAA (Santana), NYY (Hughes)
Armando Galarraga (DET) ~ TB (Price), @CWS (Garcia)
Brian Matusz (BAL) ~ CWS (Jackson), @TB (Niemann)

Matusz has won only twice in his last 10 starts and is just too inconsistent to be counted on this season. No reason to start O’Sullivan with his pedestrian numbers. He has allowed seven runs in 11 innings in start against the Yankees this season. Since the near perfect game Galarraga has only picked up one win. In his last start, he allowed 13 baserunners in 7 2/3 innings. Too many crooked numbers allowed by Masterson from week to week to trust him with two starts. He has given up six runs or more in four of his last 10 starts.

National League:

Start them:

Ryan Dempster (CHC) ~ @SF (Lincecum), @STL (Carpenter)
Ubaldo Jimenez (COL) ~ @NYM (Pelfrey), MIL (Parra)
Anibal Sanchez (FLA) ~ @WAS (Strasburg), @CIN (Cueto)
Madison Bumgarner (SF) ~ CHC (Diamond), SD (Latos)
Tim Lincecum (SF) ~ CHC (Dempster), SD (LeBlanc)
Chris Carpenter (STL) ~ @CIN (Leake), CHC (Dempster)
Stephen Strasburg (WAS) ~ FLA (Sanchez), ARI (Enright)

Roll the Dice:

Ian Kennedy (AZ) ~ @MIL (Narveson), @WAS (Olsen)
Barry Enright (AZ) ~ @MIL (Parra), @WAS (Strasburg)
Mike Leake (CIN) ~ STL (Carpenter), FLA (Sanchez)
Vicente Padilla (LAD) ~ @PHI (Kendrick), @ATL (minor)
Mike Pelfrey (NYM) ~ COL (Jimenez), PHI (Kendrick)
Jeff Karstens (PIT) ~ @SD (LeBlanc), @HOU (Norris)
Kyle Kendrick (PHI) ~ LAD (Padilla), @NYM (Pelfrey)
Wade LeBlanc (SD) ~ PIT (Karstens), @SF (Lincecum)
Mike Minor (ATL) ~ @HOU (Norris), LAD (Padilla)

LeBlanc is 2-6 in his last 10 starts but has been a victim of little run support, allowing four runs or less in each of those appearances. I would roll the dice on Kennedy but if you are on the fence, his ERA on the road is a full run higher than at home and his WHIP is almost a quarter of a point higher as well. Leake is getting close to the bench line as June and July were much different months than April and May. Batters hit 50 points higher against him and his home runs allowed increased as well. Padilla has allowed two runs or less in eight straight outings while going 4-2. His WHIP for the season is .97 and batters are hitting only .203 against him. Karstens has not fared too badly despite going 1-5 in his last 10 starts, despite allowing three runs or less in seven of 10 outings. He has yet to face Houston this season and allowed two runs in six innings in his lone start against the Padres. Kendrick has allowed two runs or less in three of his last four starts, with a seven run shellacking at the hands of the Cardinals. Minor is getting called up for his major league debut in place of the injured Kris Medlen. Definitely worth a start if you are trying to pick up some strikeouts as he averaged more than a K per inning in the minor leagues.

Sit Them:

Carlos Zambrano (CHC) ~ @SF (Bumgarner), @STL (Westbrook)
Bud Norris (HOU) ~ ATL (Minor), PIT (Karstens)
Manny Parra (MIL) ~ ARI (Enright), @COL (Jimenez)
Chris Narveson (MIL) ~ ARI (Kennedy), @COL (Cook)

Parra has allowed four runs or more in six of his last seven starts while going 1-4. Zambrano hasn’t been stretched out and last started back on June 20th. He allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings while working in the bullpen. Narveson seems to alternate good and bad starts and with a second start at Colorado, I would keep him on reserve for next week. Norris is hit or miss, allowing four runs or more in seven of his last 10 starts.
