Starting Pitcher Streamers 5/27-6/2
Michael Simione breaks down all the pitching streamers that you need to know for this weeks slate of games.
Hey all! I apologize for the delay. I went away for the weekend and brought my laptop but not my charger so that was useless. I usually do some kind of intro or interesting stats but we will bring that back next week.
Happy streaming!

The Chart
A quick update. It seems no one pays attention to ESPN leagues or most of them are very small leagues. My picks will now only be under 30% rostered in Yahoo!

Analysis and Backup Options
Monday 5/27
Streamer of the Day
This week is a tough week for streaming. Just keep that in mind when reading all of these. Alec Marsh gets a matchup with the Twins and Marsh has been very consistent lately. In the last two weeks, he has a 20% K-BB% and a 3.56 SIERA. His command has been solid and he should get through this start with decent ratios.

Tuesday 5/28
Streamer of the Day
Matt Waldron has been pitching well in terms of underlying metrics and he takes on the anemic Marlins offense. They have an 87 wRC+ and 82.9 Z-Contact% in the last seven days.
Strikeout Upside
Matt Waldron and Ben Brown.

Wednesday 5/29
Streamer of the Day
Frankie Montas has been shaky but with not a ton of good options we have to rely on him and his splitter. If he can get it going the Cardinals won’t put up a lot of damage against him. If you don’t need to stream today I wouldn't.
Strikeout Upside
Frankie Montas and David Peterson.

Frankie Montas and Andrew Heaney.

Thursday 5/30
Streamer of the Day
Kenta Maeda has not looked good…like at all. But with not a lot of options, we are going with a pitcher who is taking on a cold offense. The Red Sox can be tough but they have a 78 wRC+and 12.8 SwStr% in the last week. Just like Wednesday, if you don’t need to stream don’t.
Strikeout Upside
Kenta Maeda and Colin Rea.

Friday 5/31
Streamer of the Day
Tobias Myers has shown that he can have a solid start. His underlying metrics in the last two weeks are elite and he draws a start against the White Sox. A White Sox team that has a 74 wRC+ against RHP for the season. Let’s hope he goes five innings.
Strikeout Upside
Tobias Myers

Tobias Myers vs CHW
Jose Soriano at SEA

Saturday 6/1
Streamer of the Day
Cooper Criswell has been super solid and he has one of the better profiles I have seen when it comes to Command+ and Stuff+. If he is on the waiver I would add and hold onto him. He takes on the Tigers who cannot hit line drives and make solid contact. No brainer.
Strikeout Upside
Cooper Criswell and Ryan Weathers.
Ratio Play (High Floor)
Cooper Criswell and Casey Mize.
Win/QS Potential
Cooper Criswell and Michael Lorenzen.

Alec Marsh vs SDP
Sunday 6/2
Streamer of the Day
For those who have followed me over the years you all know I love Tylor Megill’s talent. He takes on the Diamondbacks here and his Stuff+ ranking of 113 is impressive. If he can harness some better control he could take a big step forward.
Strikeout Upside
Tylor Megill and Cole Irvin.
