Pitching Notes

Pitchers are ranked based on their projected fantasy points (FPTS) using ESPN's standard scoring system. Key metrics include handedness, opposing team, roster percentage, and projected stat lines like innings pitched, earned runs allowed, and strikeouts.

Top Pitchers to Stream

• David Peterson (NYM): Despite recent struggles, Peterson has a strong home record and a high ground-ball rate, making him a reliable streamer against the Milwaukee Brewers.
• Dustin May (LAD): Post-Tommy John surgery, May's velocity is back to pre-surgery levels. He’s a solid pick when the Dodgers are at home, especially against weak offenses like the Chicago White Sox.
• Jose Soriano (LAA): After a rough outing, Soriano is expected to bounce back against the Atlanta Braves, who have been underperforming offensively.

Hitting Notes

Hitters to Stream

• Bryce Elder (ATL): Despite a poor last outing, Elder’s potential against the Los Angeles Angels, who have a high home run rate, makes him a risky but potentially rewarding stream.
• Mike Trout (LAA): Available in only 12% of ESPN leagues, Trout is a must-check for fortifying your lineup.

Hitters to Avoid

• Dylan Moore (SEA): While a stolen base specialist, Moore’s speed is neutralized by the Kansas City Royals' strong control of the running game.
• Christian Yelich & Brice Turang (MIL): With the Mets' strong defense against stolen bases, it’s safer to avoid these Brewers hitters.
