DOUBLE DIPPIN': June 12-18

James Paxton (LHP, BOS), pictured above, has racked up 17 K over his last two starts and is one of the best options for this week with home starts against the Rockies and Yankees. But this is another week where fantasy managers will face some difficult decisions with a lot of the two-start options.

While the two-start hurlers provide volume with strikeouts and the potential for a couple of wins, we must take into account the damage that can be done in terms of ERA and WHIP. We'll dig into the outlooks for several of these pitchers below, and you can find the projected matchups and ratings for the whole week in our 8-day scan.
