Fantasy Baseball Week 17 Preview: Top sleeper pitchers for both three- and 10-day scoring period

We’re once again faced with a scenario much like Week 1 where reasonable minds might disagree over what the upcoming scoring period should be.

The second half begins on a Friday, not a Monday, which raises the question of what to do with that extra weekend of games. The CBS default is to treat it as its own three-day scoring period, so the bulk of this article is directed toward that, but I do offer some bonus sleeper recommendations if your league happens to combine that first weekend after the All-Star break with the first full week for a massive 10-day scoring period.

Either way, I should note that the matchups depicted here are highly speculative. Few teams have announced their rotation plans coming out of the break, forcing me to make some presumptions that I’ll try to amend as they’re refuted (which hopefully won’t happen much). As always, I’ve limited the selection to those rostered in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
