In a week with nearly one-third of the league scheduled for only five games, suffice it to say the two-start options are limited. One of my recommendations here is actually making his major-league debut. Stranger danger.
The good news is there's a decent number of one-start pitchers who may be of interest to you, including a couple who are set to face the league's worst offense, the Mariners.

Sleeper pitchers for Week 11 (June 7-13)
Convincing people to pick him up has been a year-long challenge, but nonetheless, he has a 3.62 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 9.5 K/9 and is in line for two starts. No need to overthink it.

He's trending down and, in my estimation, was due for some regression, but that matchup against the Mariners is enough to sell me on the two-start week. The return home will help him keep the ball in the yard.
| ||
The rookie has been surprisingly steady this year despite a lack of strikeouts, allowing three earned runs or fewer in seven straight. He also set a season high for swinging strikes in his latest start and has an even better matchup this time around.
| ||
Austin Gomber still has a Coors Field problem, but with a 2.68 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 9.6 K/9 in his past seven starts, he's worth using with a favorable matchup on the road.
| ||
His return from the IL earlier this week offered reason to believe he's the same pitcher you targeted as your No. 4 coming into the year. Watch him go seven strong against the Tigers.
| ||
The early-season luster has worn off for the ground-ball specialist, and the Dodgers matchup is a dangerous one. But he'll likely come through against the Brewers, especially after throwing six shutout innings last time out.
| ||
One of the league's best ground-ball pitchers has been going five-plus with a little more regularity of late. His combined totals for the two starts should be acceptable, particularly since one is against the Pirates.
| ||
The most two-faced pitcher in baseball is due for a bad one if he continues his on-again, off-again pattern, but if you're one for rolling the dice, the matchup is pretty good.
| ||
The first of the two matchups will be his major-league debut, which itself makes the second no guarantee (like if he gets bombed). He brings a 0.85 ERA and an elite changeup from Triple-A, though, so it's a boom-or-bust play.
| ||
It's a fine matchup fresh off the IL for a pitcher whose major-league track record points to great things. Seeing as he topped out at 60 pitches on his minor-league rehab assignment, though, I'll be a little surprised if he makes it five innings.
