Here are some of the two-star pitchers coming up this week. Remember innings and strikeouts are categories that you can win without having the Halladays or Lincecums on your roster. I decided to give you 3 guys (In no particular order) that are on most league's waivers (50 %) to use for this week only.
Josh Tomlin- Tomlin has been a nice surprise for the equally surprising Cleveland Indians. He's had a quality start every start thus far. His only loss was in a pitching battle vs. Trevor Cahill in which he went 7.2 innings and 2 runs. He wont put up huge strikeouts numbers but will be average across the board. It help that he plays an inconsistent Rays offense and a non-existent Mariners offense.
Kevin Correia- Had a poor 2010 with a 5.40 era coming after a breakout 2009 in which he had a 3.91 era. He's been quietly consistent for the Pirates with a quality start in three of his last four starts. Like Tomlin he wont put up huge strikeout numbers. Correia will play at home against the Dodgers and on the road against the Brewers. He doesn't have the best match ups but has been pitching well.
Jason Hammel- Hammel has gotten better in every start this season and is coming off a 7 inning 0 runs against Arizona Thursday. Hammel has put up a 2.63 era and has been a big part of the Rockies early success. He will pitch at home against the Mets and Padres and will be a nice option for the week.
