By Not That Bob James on Flickr (Original version) UCinternational (Crop) [CC-BY-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia CommonsThere are not as many great two start pitchers for Week 5 as there have been in previous weeks, but there are still a lot of great SP matchups and even some sleepers to consider off the waiver wire for your fantasy teams. As the MLB season heads into its second month, we continue to get a better feel for which SPs are for real, which are here to stay, and which are just too inconsistent to trust for fantasy baseball.

As always this weekly article takes a look at all of the projected starting pitching matchups for the upcoming week, and below we're providing our start/sit recommendations for Week 5. It's key to prepare your daily fantasy lineups (or weekly lineups in some formats), as benching or streaming the right SP can be a game changer.  Good luck RotoBallers!

Editor’s Note: Make sure to bookmark our fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups list and download our free waiver wire iphone app. With these nifty tools, you'll get daily updates for starting pitchers (and every other position) to consider grabbing off the waiver wire.
