Fantasy Baseball Week 9 Preview: Two-start pitcher rankings highlight Reynaldo Lopez, Joe Musgrove

Far more of this week's two-start slate than usual is actual usable for Fantasy

Every weekend, Scott White ranks the two-start pitchers for the upcoming scoring period, sorting them by how usable they are. The names depicted here are projected several days out and, thus, subject to change.
