DOUBLE DIPPIN': April 3-9

It has been an exciting first few days of the season, filled with a lot of steals as well as a few blowups from some aces. Now it's time for the first full week and the season debut of Double Dippin', which takes a look at the two-start pitchers for the upcoming week.

The first start of the week will be the season debut for most of this week's two-steppers, meaning they are slotted in at the back of their team's rotation. Therefore we have lower ratings than you'll usually see, and in turn, fewer recommended starts. For a look at all of the week's projected starters, take a look at our 8-day scan.

Strong starts
