DOUBLE DIPPIN': April 30-May 6

Unfortunately, this looks like another tough week to target free agent pitchers on the waiver wire. Owners will also be faced with some tough decisions on many widely-owned hurlers, some of whom are discussed below, due to a combination of poor skills they've shown so far and imposing matchups this week. Andrew Triggs is available in many shallow leagues, including 62 percent of NFBC 12-teamers, and our new and improved Matchup Tool is very optimistic about his prospects for his two starts. For all of the matchups for the coming week, be sure to check out our 8-day scan.
