Fantasy Baseball Streaming Pitcher Rankings & Waiver Wire Targets: Week 5

Below we take a look at the top streaming pitcher options of the day.

You can also check out our full probable pitchers report for the next two weeks. You can use that in coordination with our Streaming Pitcher Planner and Two-Start Pitcher Projections to plan your fantasy baseball rotation.
