Last week, Jacob Misiorowski topped my list for my favorite fantasy baseball two-start pitchers to utilize. This week, another Milwaukee Brewer sits atop my list. In these articles, I take a look at all the pitchers that will get two starts for the upcoming week.

I rank these pitchers into four different categories. The first tier is the “No-Brainers,” with ideal pitchers and matchups that require no thought to start. Then the “Next In Line” tier, which will include other optimal matchups but carries a sense of risk.
The third tier is the “Streamer” tier, which is what the name suggests: pitchers who can produce decent stats, but the matchups aren’t ideal, so start at your own risk. The last tier is the “Avoid” tier, which includes pitchers with terrible matchups or who have been pitching badly and can be left on the bench or on the waiver wire.
Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers for June 1-7
My Favorite Two-Start Pitcher of the Week
Kyle Harrison, Milwaukee Brewers (vs Giants, @ Rockies)
Kyle Harrison has been electric in his fourth MLB season. He has struggled in his three prior seasons with the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox, never posting an ERA under 4.00, and his strikeouts per nine innings have never exceeded 9.60.
However, Harrison has blown those stats out of the water with his performance thus far with the Brewers in 2026. He has a 1.57 ERA through 51.2 innings, and he must have picked up some pointers from Misiorowski, because Harrison has a 10.63 K/9.
He’s in the 92nd percentile for strikeout percentage (29.6%) and the 94th percentile for limiting hard hits with a 28.9% hard-hit rate. He had a five-pitch arsenal in prior seasons, but this season he’s reduced it to four, eliminating the cutter.
Harrison has two ideal matchups next week with both teams ranking in the bottom third of MLB in runs and OPS. There are no signs of the Brewers’ lefty slowing down anytime soon. He’s 78% owned in fantasy leagues, so if he’s still available, get him added to your roster regardless of the league type or size.
