Fantasy baseball managers seeking an extra boost in their rotations have a fresh cheat sheet from veteran analyst Scott White, who has just released his weekly rankings of two‑start pitchers for Week 13.
White’s list goes beyond raw talent, organizing each arm by how reliably it can be counted on across the different league formats that dominate fantasy play.
Must‑Start Arms
At the very top sits Philadelphia Phillies right‑hander Zack Wheeler, a pitcher who consistently delivers quality starts and strikeouts, making him a cornerstone for any format.
Close behind Wheeler, the rankings spotlight rising talents such as San Diego Padres prospect Chase Burns and Chicago Cubs veteran Dylan Cease, both of whom bring high upside in a two‑start scenario.
Sleeper Spotlights
The piece also shines a light on Shota Imanaga of the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals right‑hander MacKenzie Gore, pitchers who have been making noise with recent strong outings and could surprise in the upcoming slate.
Veteran Options
Veteran starters like New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole and Los Angeles Angels left‑hander Reid Detmers appear in the mix as advisable options, though White notes that their usage may depend on matchup difficulty.
White emphasizes that the value of each pitcher can shift as the week unfolds, reminding managers to stay flexible and monitor injury reports and weather forecasts before locking in lineups.
Ultimately, the rankings serve as a guide for deciding which two‑start pitchers to prioritize in head‑to‑head leagues, rotisserie categories, and points‑based formats alike.
