Two Start Pitchers :: Week 12
by Scott Mickels
Published: June 24, 2012, 9:05 pm
 Week 12 is upon us! There aren't any Injury Watch's to speak of, but there are a ton of two-start options this week. One that might be flying under the radar is the New York Mets’ Dillon Gee. If you haven’t taken notice, Gee has been excellent recently throwing 7 straight quality starts. After the first two months of the season in which he had ERA's over 4 (4.85 in April and 4.58 in May) he finally seems to be settling in. In June, his ERA stands at 3.29 and on the season is currently down to 4.27. His WHIP is still, and has virtually remained, a respectable 1.24. Over his last 7 starts, he only has 3 wins to show for it, but that is only because of no run support, a bad bullpen or the combination of the two. He has also done a good job of missing bats all season as he has 83 strikeouts over 83 innings of work. Gee is one of the most underrated pitchers in the major leagues partly because he isn't really flashy. As a result, there's a very good chance he’s available in your league. If he is, grab him now as he makes an advisable option heading into Week 12.
Good luck to your fantasy teams! Now, on to what we all came here for, the Two-Start Pitchers!
