Hitters to Start and Avoid in Fantasy Baseball in Week 2 (4/6-4/12)
Pitcher List • • sports
Key Points:
- Kansas City Royals hitters have a favorable seven-game schedule in Week 2, facing mostly weaker pitching staffs from the Guardians and White Sox, making them strong start options, especially Chase DeLauter who is off to a hot start.
- New York Mets hitters also have favorable matchups in their six games against the Diamondbacks and Athletics, both teams with below-average pitching staffs, making Mets bats a good streaming target; Francisco Alvarez is recommended as a catcher to stream.
- New York Yankees hitters face the Athletics and Rays in six games with mostly manageable pitching matchups, making them a solid option to start this week, with only minor concerns about Ryan Pepiot.
- Los Angeles Angels hitters face tough pitching matchups against strong staffs from Atlanta and the Reds, making them less attractive for fantasy starts this week, especially for mid-tier players.
- Athletics and Arizona Diamondbacks hitters both face some of the best pitching staffs this week in matchups against the Yankees, Mets, and Phillies, so mid-tier hitters from these teams are advised to be avoided in weekly fantasy leagues.
