Pitchers To Stream (Week 1)

Tuesday, April 2nd 

Hisashi Iwakuma vs OAK owned in 40% of Yahoo Leagues

- Iwakuma may be a guy you'd like to grab and hold for the week as he has two starts both on the road. In 6 starts on the road last year he went 3-2 with a 2.80 ERA so he could be a good first week pick up.

Wednesday, April 3rd

Clayon Richard vs NYM owned in 8% of Yahoo Leagues

- Not the flashiest pitcher on the board but should be available in almost every league. Struggled a bit this spring but will be pitching in the home opener against the Mets who have one of the weaker lineups in baseball.

Wily Peralta vs COL owned in 3% of Yahoo Leagues

- Peralta looked great at the end of the season but shouldn't replicate most of those numbers. Only thing that will stick is his K's. He'll probably be around 8 K/9 all season but his B/9 is probably gonna hurt him.


Thursday, April 4th

Mark Buehrle vs CLE owned in 34% of Yahoo Leagues

- Think Buehrle is the pitcher I've streamed the most the past few seasons. Always consistantly good and has a good shot at winning a lot of his games started playing for the Jays this season.

Dillon Gee vs SD owned in 9% of Yahoo Leagues

- Gee has great control and looked great before he got a bllod clot in his throwing shoulder. Had a few rough starts cause of it that inflated his stats some but will be available in most weeks to provide good ERA/WHIP.

A.J. Griffin vs SEA owned in 36% of Yahoo Leagues

- Really like Griffin in any league he's available. Pitching against Maurer for the Mariners so the win looks pretty much in place for him to take. Also pitching at home where he went 3-0 in 8 starts with a 3.21 ERA.

Friday, April 5th

Alex Cobb vs CLE owned in 67% of Yahoo Leagues

- Cobb Isn't as available but if he is I'd stream him in week 1 for sure. Probably had the best spring by any Ray in the rotation and should continue to keep pitching well all season.

Dan Straily vs HOU owned in 12% of Yahoo Leagues

- Straily a strikeout machine. Had over 200 K's between the minors and the big leagues last year facing a very weak lineup against the Astro's. Wouldn't be surprised to see him with over 8 K's in this matchup

Saturday, April 6th

Julio Teherán vs CHC owned in 67% of Yahoo Leagues

- Last years top prospect for the Braves had a season he'd like to forget. Switched his delivery up which threw him off all season. This springs he switched back to his former delivery and has been one of the best pitchers this spring with a 1.04 ERA and 35 K's in 26 innings.

Sunday, April 7th

Jose Fernandez vs NYM owned in 17% of Yahoo Leagues

- Do to injuries the young flame thrower has been thrown straight into the rotation. Only 20 years old and never pitched at any level higher than A ball, he'll be a huge gamble who might pay off in week one. Only pitched 2 innings this spring and the Met's won't have much to work with in scouting so we could see a good first start by the youngster.
