Week 9 Two‑Start Pitcher Landscape
Scott White’s weekly rankings cut through the noise by sorting two‑start pitchers into four clear buckets: Must‑start, Advisable, Better left for points leagues, and No thanks. The framework helps fantasy managers decide where to allocate limited roster spots as the season moves into its second half.
At the top of the Must‑start tier sit Nolan McLean, Shota Imanaga and Jacob Misiorowski. All three have demonstrated the ability to deliver quality starts in both scheduled outings, making them safe bets for categories that reward weekly totals.
MacKenzie Gore and Sonny Gray also earn prominent placement, though they land in the Advisable group. Their recent form suggests they could produce solid numbers, but a slight risk factor keeps them from the top tier.
White notes that updates to the rankings will be posted on Sunday, giving managers a final chance to adjust lineups before the week’s matchups lock in.
