Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Fantasy Baseball SP Pickups and Starts - Week 17 (2024)

Dean Kremer - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Starting pitcher two-start streamers for Week 17 (2024). Fantasy baseball SP waiver wire pickups for pitchers with two starts scheduled in the week ahead, July 15 to July 21.

Welcome RotoBallers to our Two-Start Pitcher Streamers article - Waiver Wire Streamers and Starts for Week 17, from July 15 to July 21. With the All-Star break creating an extended week in fantasy baseball, we'll have plenty of two-start starting pitchers to choose from this week.

Each week of this fantasy baseball season, this fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column will identify starting pitchers expected to make two starts in the upcoming week. It can be considered as fantasy baseball streamers ahead of the Sunday night waiver wire run for leagues with weekly transactions.

There are 88 pitchers currently scheduled to make a start during this period. We will be looking at pitchers who are less than 50% owned in Yahoo leagues. Listed will be those who are rostered over 50%, those who are best available under 50%, and risky options under 50%. There are a few other two-start pitchers available, but they should be avoided.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

Two-Start Pitchers - Over 50% Rostered

 

Best Available Two-Start Pitcher Streamers

Dean Kremer (30% Rostered), Baltimore Orioles

Scheduled Starts: @ TEX

Certain metrics with Dean Kremer are worrisome (4.42 ERA, 5.48 xERA, 5.00 ERA, 9.2% walk rate) while others point to some non-luck basis for continued success (24% strikeout rate, 30% CSW%, 4.09 xFIP, 1.19 WHIP). He's got a juggernaut Orioles offense behind him and Texas ranks only 19th in scoring since June 1, so Kremer isn't an awful option this week.

Jose Quintana (27% Rostered), New York Mets

Scheduled Starts: @ MIA

Jose Quintana is on quite the hot streak, with a 0.89 ERA, 3.53 FIP, 3.74 xFIP, and 22.7% strikeout rate through his last five starts. While a 4.72 FIP and 17.3% strikeout rate on the season makes it hard to believe he's reliable in the long run, it'd be difficult for a locked-in Quintana to mess up against a Miami offense ranked dead last in scoring since June 1.

Jose Soriano (17% Rostered), Los Angeles Angels

Scheduled Starts: @ OAK

Jose Soriano is still cruising this season, with a 3.87 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 20.7% strikeout rate through 14 starts. While he disappointed in a recent start against Oakland (four runs allowed in four innings), he held a 3.77 xFIP, 23.5% strikeout rate, and surrendered only three hits in that start (one a no-doubt home run to Brent Rooker and another a three-run Lawrence Butler homer that just snuck over the left-field wall). Luck/variance aside, he's set up well enough against a bottom-feeding Oakland offense.

 

Risky Two-Start Streamer Picks

Jordan Hicks (42% Rostered), San Francisco Giants

Scheduled Starts: @ COL

Jordan Hicks' control issues have resurfaced as of late, leading to a 6.08 ERA, 5.44 FIP, 1.78 WHIP, and 9.8% walk rate in his last eight starts. Hicks control issues won't fly in Coors --well they'll fly, just not in a way you'd like for fantasy baseball streaming purposes.

James Paxton (36% Rostered), Los Angeles Dodgers

Scheduled Starts: vs. BOS

Father Time seems to be catching up to James Paxton; the 35-year-old holds a 4.38 ERA, 4.96 FIP, 15.6% strikeout rate, and 12% walk rate through 17 starts. Boston has ticked up on offense, ranking eighth in scoring since June 1. It isn't a good idea to take Paxton against his former squad.

Aaron Civale (35% Rostered), Milwaukee Brewers

Scheduled Starts: @ MIN

Minnesota ranks second in runs scored since June 1 and sixth in scoring this season. It'd be difficult to find a qualified pitcher to stream against an offense this good. Aaron Civale (4.94 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) is not an option worth considering this week.

Mitchell Parker (34% Rostered), Washington Nationals

Scheduled Starts: vs. CIN

While rookie Mitchell Parker has surprised many with his solid pitching this season (3.44 ERA coming into last week), you cannot stream him against top-tier offenses -- his most recent start against the Milwaukee Brewers (five runs allowed in 2/3 innings) proves just that. Going against a Cincinnati offense ranked seventh in scoring since June 1, it's a good idea to fade Parker this week.

Drew Thorpe (25% Rostered), Chicago White Sox

Scheduled Starts: vs. CIN

It's a low bar for White Sox pitchers, so a 3.58 ERA through his career's first six starts has many ready to put the house on Drew Thorpe. Unfortunately, a 4.97 FIP, 14.3% strikeout rate, 11.3% walk rate, 25.1% CSW%, and 82 Stuff+ grade show that Thorpe isn't much of a surefire bet. It'd be wise to leave him aside this week with a start against a Reds offense ranked seventh in scoring since June 1.

Miles Mikolas (25% Rostered), St. Louis Cardinals

Scheduled Starts: @ ATL

Miles Mikolas shut out a hot Washington offense in his most recent start, pushing himself back into the fantasy baseball conversation. However, you don't want Mikolas' 4.88 ERA and 17% strikeout rate against an offense with Atlanta's ceiling.

Lance Lynn (24% Rostered), St. Louis Cardinals

Scheduled Starts: @ ATL

While Lance Lynn's 21.4% strikeout rate seems like it could serve well in a pinch, it'll come with a 4.48 ERA, 4.43 FIP, and 1.41 WHIP. Leave Lynn alone this week and your ratios will thank you.

Zack Littell (22% Rostered), Tampa Bay Rays

Scheduled Starts: @ NYY

The New York Yankees lead the league in scoring. Littell has his moments and is generally a reliable streamer, but it isn't his week.

Frankie Montas (22% Rostered), Cincinnati Reds

Scheduled Starts: @ WAS

Frankie Montas is struggling this season, with a 4.38 ERA, 4.80 FIP, 19.1% strikeout rate, and 9.7% walk rate through 17 starts and 84 1/3 innings pitched. Washington's offense is hot, ranking 12th in scoring since June 1. There's not much of a case for Montas this week.

Edward Cabrera (17% Rostered), Miami Marlins

Scheduled Starts: vs. NYM

The New York Mets have led the league in scoring since June 1, Edward Cabrera got off the IL a week ago and just surrendered seven runs in 3 1/3 innings to the Cincinnati Reds. Avoid Cabrera at all costs this week.

Cal Quantrill (15% Rostered), Colorado Rockies

Scheduled Starts: vs. SF

Cal Quantrill (4.13 ERA, 4.77 FIP, 18% strikeout rate) is in Coors and will face off against a San Francisco Giants offense ranked 11th in scoring since June 1. Quantrill shouldn't be in consideration this week.
