Fantasy Baseball Streaming & Two-Start Pitchers
Fantasy Baseball Streamers
Ben Lively (SP – CLE) vs. CWS
Ben Lively is a boring pitcher, but he faces a terrible White Sox team at home and then lines up for a two-start week next week, which means you may be able to keep him for a bit.
Mitchell Parker (SP – WSH) at MIA
Mitchell Parker has looked good to start the season and is facing a terrible Marlins team in a great pitching park.
Trevor Williams (SP – WSH) at MIA
Is Trevor Williams good? No, but neither are the Marlins, and with this game being in a great pitcher’s park, I am willing to roll the dice here.
Nick Martinez (SP, RP – CIN) at SF
I know the Giants have been hot to start the season, but Nick Martinez was unstoppable on the road last season. I just don’t have a lot of faith in the Giants to keep it going.
Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers
Shane Smith (SP, RP – CWS) at CLE, vs. BOS
Don’t let the stat line in Shane Smith’s first start trick you because he looked nasty. This is a tough set of matchups because Cleveland is a tough park for right-handed pitchers and Boston’s lineup is loaded. However, if you’re looking for a high-risk gamble, I am betting on Smith this week in several leagues.
Logan Allen (RP – CLE) vs. CWS, vs. KC
Logan Allen did not look great in his first start, but nothing can cure those woes like kicking off a two-start week versus the worst team in baseball. Allen was great in spring training, so I am willing to take the gamble he bounces back here in a big way against a terrible and mediocre tandem of offenses.
Casey Mize (SP – DET) vs. NYY, at MIN
Casey Mize looked fantastic in his first start. He will be starting this week in a majority of leagues, but there is a ton of risk with how amazing the Yankees’ offense looks with these new torpedo bats. You aren’t afraid of the Twins, and at least the Yankees game is in Detroit, but there is a huge risk that he gets blown up in the first half.
Shane Baz (SP – TB) vs. LAA, vs. ATL
Shane Baz was fantastic in his first start, and now he is getting a bad Angels team and a struggling Braves offense. He won’t go deep, but he should be started just about everywhere.
Hayden Wesneski (SP, RP – HOU) at SEA, vs. LAA
Hayden Wesneski looked pretty good in his first start, but did struggle a bit with control. These are two nice matchups versus two bad offenses in the Mariners and Angels, so you probably should roll with him in most formats.
Richard Fitts (SP – BOS) vs. TOR, at CWS
With the rainout over the weekend, Richard Fitts is being pushed to a two-start week this week for the Red Sox. It works out well for him as he now gets a matchup at the end of the week with the White Sox. Fitts has looked good and now gets a chance to mow down the worst team in baseball.
