Two-Start Pitchers: May 16-22

     As we did last week, here are three two-start pitchers to pick up for the week. It's based on match ups, recent success, and past success vs. teams. Our main criteria is that they aren't owned in more than half of the ESPN.com leagues. 
     The AL West teams have favorable match ups this week so if you don't agree with my pitchers, look for advantages there. As always if you're not sure who to get, look to see who's pitching against either the Mariners or Athletics. I'm not sure who's offense is worse.

Joel Pineiro- He'll play in Oakland and at home against Atlanta. I'm not in love with the Atlanta match up but he is at home. I love that he's playing in Oakland Coliseum against an awful Athletics offense. On top of that, he's posted very good numbers in the three starts he's had since be activated from the DL (2-0, 1.33 ERA). 


Homer Bailey- Here's another guy who hasn't been noticed much with back-to-back quality starts since being activated from the DL. Both start were against the Astros, but Bailey showed good promise last season on a late August call-up. He'll be pitching at home against the Cubs and on the road against the Indians. Both are average offenses regardless of the Indians hot start.


Scott Baker- Baker got roughed up his last start at home against the Tigers going 4 1/3 innings 5 earned runs but before that was pitching like the ace the Twins have been looking for (4 quality starts in a row). I think the last outing was just a bump in the road and will rebound nicely this week going against both Seattle and Arizona on the road.
