Welcome to Week 3, RotoBallers! A lot happened in Week 2: Vince Velasquez's 16-strikeout gem (you're welcome for the recommendation to start him, by the way); Jaime Garcia's one-hitter (got that one); Chris Sale's shutout (nailed that one, too). One way to take advantage of matchups is to pick out the strong pitchers against the weak teams. All three of those pitchers were facing teams with poor offenses- Velasquez against the Padres, Garcia against the Brewers, Sale against the Rays. There are some more examples of these matchups as you browse through our Start/Sit Recommendations for Week 3.

Waiver wire starts you could grab this week include: the Twins' Ervin Santana vs. Milwaukee (Tuesday), the Mets' Logan Verrett at the Phillies (Tuesday), the Phillies' Aaron Nola at the Brewers (Friday), and Washington's Tanner Roark against the Twins (Saturday).

Guys I'm buying after hot starts: Carlos Rodon, CHW (Sunday vs. LAA, Saturday vs. TEX); Vince Velasquez, PHI (Tuesday vs. NYM); Adam Conley, MIA (Tuesday vs. WAS, Sunday @SF); Ross Stripling, LAD (Wednesday @ATL).

Expect turnarounds from: Michael Pineda, NYY (Tuesday vs. OAK, Sunday vs. TB); Steven Matz, NYM (Saturday @ATL); Chris Archer, TB (Wednesday @BOS); Madison Bumgarner (Wednesday vs. ARI)

Two-start pitchers: Noah Syndergaard, NYM (Monday @PHI, Sunday @ATL...two good matchups for him); Jose Fernandez, MIA (Sunday vs. WAS, Saturday @ SF); Marcus Stroman, TOR (Tuesday @BAL, Sunday vs. OAK); Carlos Carrasco, CLE (Tuesday vs. SEA, Sunday @ DET); Stephen Strasburg, WAS (Tuesday @MIA, Sunday vs. MIN); the aforementioned Carlos Rodon, Michael Pineda and Adam Conley.

SP Matchups & Start/Sit Recommendations

Without further ado...the chart! Remember, kids...things change, and this list is highly unlikely to look this way by the end of the week. Always make sure to check back for updates.
