The Bump Report: Two-Start Targets for August 10–August 16
Babe Ruthless breaks down every two-start pitcher worth adding for the week of August 10–August 16 — real stats, real matchups, actual availability.
Two starts in one week is the closest thing to a cheat code in fantasy baseball. I went through every team's schedule and rotation and pulled out the guys worth rostering or picking up — filtered down to anyone under 75% on ESPN, because if you don't have the studs already, we can't help you there.
Starts marked ~ Projected are based on normal 5-man rotation math and haven't been officially confirmed by the team yet. Keep an eye on your notifications — pitching plans change, and nobody wants to get caught holding a scratched starter in a big week.
