These Fantasy Baseball 2-Start Pitchers Could Make or Break Your Week—Who’s Worth the Risk?

Griffin Canning, Mets, 17% (@WSH, @STL)

Although his 1.38 WHIP is a poor mark, Canning has used a heavy groundball lean to limit the damage of having allowed plenty of baserunners (3.12 ERA). His 26:11 K:BB ratio should get him into the lineup in some 12-team leagues, especially when factoring in that he has average matchups.

Will Warren, Yankees, 7% (@BAL, vs. TB)

Warren has shown similar skills to Canning — a respectable, but not dominant, K:BB ratio to go along with plenty of groundballs. The difference is that one of the pitchers (Warren) has enjoyed favorable batted ball luck, while the other (Canning) has enjoyed good fortune on his strand rate. Like Canning, Warren is a fringe option in 12-team leagues.
