Several two-start pitchers present attractive pickup options due to favorable matchups and wide availability. Cam Schlittler faces Washington and Chicago White Sox, has recorded 23 strikeouts across 21.2 innings in his past four starts, and carries solid win potential for the Yankees. Sean Manaea has a 45:8 K:BB ratio and 1.12 WHIP despite a 5.15 ERA, indicating strikeout upside and potential for better run prevention as luck normalizes. José Soriano's heavy ground-ball profile limits ERA swings but raises WHIP, making him useful in points formats. Luis Gil has shown improvement after an uneven debut but continues to struggle with walks.
Manaea has produced a mixed bag of results in 36.2 innings since returning from a season-opening injured list stint. His 5.15 ERA is keeping him on waivers in many leagues, but his 45:8 K:BB ratio and 1.12 WHIP suggest that the left-hander should soon have more success in preventing runs. Manaea could produce 12-15 strikeouts and hopefully his batted-ball luck (67.4% strand rate) starts to correct itself.
The story with Soriano never changes - his heavy ground ball lean means that he will hurt your WHIP, but he shouldn't have much impact in either direction on your ERA. He's a safe source of 10-12 strikeouts and has a decent chance of getting a win during a week with reasonable matchups. Because of the WHIP impact, Soriano is more appealing in points leagues.
