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

David Peterson, Mets, 32% (vs. ARI, @STL)

Peterson has continued a career-long pattern of allowing too many baserunners but inducing enough grounders to limit scoring. He will likely do damage to your WHIP during a two-start week, and the matchup against a potent D-backs lineup is scary. Most managers will want to leave the lefty on the waiver wire.

Tomoyuki Sugano, Orioles, 9% (vs. NYY, vs. KC)

Although Sugano seems to be off to a great start in America (3.54 ERA, 1.14 WHIP), we don’t have to dig deep to find reasons for concern. His 8.0% strikeout rate is incredibly low, and all his ERA estimators are in the 5.00-6.00 range. The quality of contact against him has been good enough to do plenty of damage, and beyond his strong control skills (4.4% walk rate) there is nothing here to like. I would pass on his two-start week in 12-team leagues.
