Week 2 Sit/Start - Starting Pitcher (SP) Matchups
![By Eric Fischer from Ames, Iowa, United States (Wacha Takes Over) [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons](https://www.rotoballer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Michael-Wacha-MLB-fantasy-baseball-starting-pitcher-sit-start-150x150.png)
There are lots of great starting pitcher matchups and two start pitcher options for the approaching week of MLB action. We are going to through each one and give you our sits and starts for Week Two of the fantasy baseball season.
Every year starting pitchers emerge throughout the season, and some players that were not even drafted in many leagues can make major contributions off the waiver wire. This year is no exception, as plenty of SPs are already emerging as viable candidates off the waiver wire. Be sure to keep an eye on the rising talents.
Guys like Jenrry Mejia, Dan Straily, Joe Kelly, Erasmo Ramirez and Michael Pineda have already shown what they plan on doing in 2014 for fantasy owners - and while they may not have been drafted in many 10 team leagues, they have been getting scooped up off the waiver wire.
Be sure to check out our fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups list, and check back for the daily updates and analysis of starting pitchers (and other positions) to help beef up your fantasy teams.
