DOUBLE DIPPIN': May 8-14

Starting pitching remains a minefield, with Braxton Garrett, Jack Flaherty, Kevin Gausman, and Brandon Pfaadt (in his MLB debut) headlining the blow-ups this past week. Cumulative ERA for all starting pitchers stands at 4.56 through Saturday's games, more than a half-run higher than last season's 4.05. In this environment, choosing one's starting pitchers wisely is especially important - doubly so, when those pitchers have two-start weeks. Let's take a look at this week's options. As always, all of this week's SP matchups can be found in our 8-day scan.
