Truth be told, baseball fans are spoiled. We get three months with a dozen or more games on the schedule almost every night. But when the All-Star Break hits and we have to suffer through a half-week drought, boy, do we bellyache.

But it's hard to deny just how good it feels to have a full week's slate of games ahead of us for the first time in... well, in two weeks. And this, of course, means a full week's worth of starting pitcher assignments from which to cull hidden value.

These five starters, all widely available and all boasting fantasy-friendly matchups, are a good bet to help you sneak a point or two in your standings in Week 17.
