Week 7 of the MLB fantasy season is ripe with two-start pitchers, providing ample opportunity for savvy fantasy managers to optimize their lineups. Among the pitchers rostered under 50%, Matthew Liberatore stands out with a stellar 3.07 ERA and a robust strikeout rate, making his upcoming matchups against Philadelphia and Kansas City enticing. Colin Rea, though less recognized, presents a reasonable option with a 2.43 ERA, particularly facing the struggling Chicago White Sox.

On the riskier side, pitchers like Tanner Houck and Michael Wacha carry potential pitfalls, with Houck's recent meltdown raising concerns, while Wacha faces a challenging week against both Detroit and St. Louis. Newcomers Jackson Jobe and Merrill Kelly also hold promise, but their shaky statistics may lead to a toss-up. With careful selection, fantasy owners can navigate this week’s slate to their advantage.
