DOUBLE DIPPIN': May 17-23
May 16 2021
This week's two-start options don't contain a lot of surprise performances or new names. But we're now getting deep enough into the season where some pitchers have recent performance trends that are diverging from their early-season performance. In some cases, those recent trends offer optimism or opportunity, in other cases they raise the risk beyond what you might see on the surface.
As always, this article is prepared with the latest matchup information available to us on Sunday morning; we strongly recommend checking the 8-day scan for updated ratings as rotations shift between now and your lineup lock time for the week.
