Roster Management: April 27-May 3
A look at the best matchups for the upcoming fantasy week
Two Start SPs < 50% Owned
It’s an ugly list of two-start pitchers under 50% owned. The most interesting is Connor Prielipp, but he’s probably owned in your league.
If you’re feeling lucky, you can roll the dice on Peter Lambert. Some more proven MLB arms are Chad Patrick (ARI/WSH) and Tyler Mahle (PHI/TB).
It’s a good week to not be on the waiver wire, I guess!
Guys you should own in all circumstances

Favorable Hitter Schedules
Good opportunity for the Mets to get going! Rockies, Nationals, and Angels - oh my!
The White Sox also get the Angels and then they’ll see the Padres and Angels.
Toughest Hitter Schedules
The Marlins have it rough. They’re playing the Giants in SF this weekend and then they’ll have to go to LA to face the Dodgers. And they return to the east coast just to see a pretty good threesome of Phillies arms.
The Braves don’t have it as bad as that number suggests. That Zack Wheeler start is Saturday, and I don’t expect Wheeler to be good. They’ll probably get Skubal, Valdez, Dollander, Gilbert, Kirby, and Woo in the next few days, though. Rough!
