A 150 watt ballast will only draw 1.25 amperes. Times 2 that's 2.5 amperes. Even the cheapest Chinese timer will handle the load.

So just like with any electrical load problem...add those two together since you want them to be on the same timer...that's 8.8 amps and make sure you get a timer that's rated high enough to cover that. Every electrical fixture will have that info on it.
