As we charge into the third week of May, the baseball season is really heating up—both literally and figuratively. Warmer weather means more fly balls leaving the yard, and for fantasy managers, it's time to separate the reliable arms from the lucky ones. With most starters having five or six starts under their belts, we finally have enough data to make informed decisions. This week's two-start pitcher list is headlined by the electric Paul Skenes, who continues to dazzle, but he's joined by a solid group of quality options that could make or break your matchup.

Among the top projected two-start pitchers for the upcoming week are Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Freddy Peralta, and Zack Wheeler. These arms have consistently delivered strong performances, and with two starts on the horizon, they're must-starts in almost every league. Yamamoto's stuff has been as advertised, Peralta's strikeout upside is always enticing, and Wheeler remains a workhorse ace. But remember, even the best can have off days, so keep an eye on matchups.

Now, let's talk about the Atlanta Braves situation, which is a bit of a puzzle. It's possible someone could make two starts for them next week against the Cubs and Red Sox, but the rotation is in flux. The Braves skipped Grant Holmes on Wednesday, opting for Martin Perez instead. Either could pitch on Tuesday and potentially get a second start, or it could be rookie JR Ritchie. The most likely scenario? More chaos, with each option taking the ball once and no one ending up with a two-start week. We'll update this as soon as we get clarity, so check back over the weekend.

As we steamroll into mid-May, remember that this is a living document. Pitchers can get lucky through a couple of starts, but sustaining success over a longer stretch requires skill. Use the data we have now to make smart moves. And hey, baseball is back in a big way—with expanded coverage on NBC and Peacock, including Sunday Night Baseball and postseason action, there's no shortage of games to watch and analyze. Stay tuned, and good luck with your lineups this week!
