Week 22 options for fantasy baseball two-start pitchers assessed

Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie evaluates the two-start pitchers for Week 22. Despite a challenging group, Zac Thornton of the Mets stands out with a 3.04 ERA after nine starts, facing the Brewers and Astros. Andrew Alvarez from the Nationals has been efficient in August with a 2.42 ERA but has concerns regarding his strikeout rate. Max Scherzer, now with the Blue Jays, looks to rebound from a disappointing outing against the Royals and Mariners. Other candidates include Seth Lugo, Jose Urquidy, and Merrill Kelly, each with varying levels of reliability and matchup challenges. Managers may need to take risks this week given the overall weak pitcher.
