- Kevin Gausman and Robbie Ray headline the Fantasy Week 27 two-start pitcher rankings for September 21-27, the final week of the MLB season
- The fantasy analyst issued a grave warning that many listed two-start pitchers may not actually make two starts because teams could use bullpen games or spot starters on the season's final day
- Zack Wheeler, Max Fried, and Kevin Gausman face the highest risk of losing their second start, pitching for teams that have likely secured playoff spots and are resetting rotations
- Cristian Javier, Nick Martinez, and Robbie Ray are also flagged as at-risk of losing their scheduled second start to rest or rotation decisions
- Fantasy players are advised that if they would not be comfortable with just one start from any Week 27 two-start pitcher, they should avoid using that pitcher entirely
Why it matters: Fantasy owners face unusual Week 27 risk because playoff-bound teams with Gausman, Wheeler, and Fried may skip their aces' second starts on the season's final day. The analyst's explicit warning means even top-ranked two-start options could end up as one-start pitchers, disrupting weekly roster plans built around getting extra starts.
