As noted in our two start pitchers for week one, most of your starters will be doubling up this week. However, just because most starters pitch twice doesn’t mean all of them have favorable matchups.

Sleeper Alert: Mike Morse

Projected Multiple Position Eligibility – MLB Fantasy

Unlike most players in fantasy football, fantasy baseball allows you to have players eligible for multiple positions if that player plays enough games at various areas of the field.
