Pitchers To Stream (Week 9)

Monday, May 27th


Jake Odorizzi (TB) Vs MIA Owned in 11% of Yahoo Leagues.

Rizzi's stat line doesn't look great but you gotta remember he faced the Jays who have been hitting the ball well the past few weeks.  He's facing the Marlins and already has that first start out of the way, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10+ strikeout game in 6 innings from him with a win.


Tuesday, May 28th


Jorge De La Rosa (COL) Vs HOU Owned in 27% of Yahoo Leagues.

De La Rosa hasn't been terrible on the year and has 6 Win under his belt. Playing the Astros, I'd use him for the chance of an easy Win.



Wednesday, May 29th


Marco Estrada (MIL) Vs MIN Owned in 52% of Yahoo Leagues.

I didn't realize he was still owned in this many leagues but if he's out there for this start I would grab him. The last 2 weeks he's gone 2-0 in 19 innings with 15 K's and a 2.75 ERA.


David Phelps (NYY) Vs NYM Owned in 19% of Yahoo Leagues.

Mets have been losing a lot lately and I think Phelps has a good match up to collect the Win.


Friday, May 31st


Jerome Williams (LAA) Vs HOU Owned in 25% of Yahoo Leagues.

I think I've streamed Jerome in his last 4-5 starts. I should just own him already right? He's just had the easiest match ups each week and has another one against them struggling Astros.


Bartolo Colon (OAK) Vs CHW Owned in 21% of Yahoo Leagues.

Colon just keeps doing it. Doesn't over power anyone anymore but always seems to come out with the win and nice counting stats.


Shaun Marcum (MIL) Vs MIA Owned in 21% of Yahoo Leagues.

Marcum can't seem to buy a win but might get one this week against the Marlins. Marlins are gonna lose games so grab as many guys out there who pitch against them. Marcum has gotten 22 K's in the last 19 Innings with a 3.66 ERA.

Pitchers To Stream (Week 8)

Tuesday, May 21st


Jerome Williams (LAA) Vs SEA Owned in 10% of Yahoo Leagues.

Both teams are struggling, but Williams has been looking alright while Harang has been terrible.


Wednesday, May 22nd


Fransisco Liriano (PIT) Vs CHC Owned in 37% of Yahoo Leagues.

Liriano is doing what he always does. Lights things up, get fantasy managers drooling and then pitches awful until he has no rotation spot. Right now i'm gonna stream him until he starts going into a downwards spiral.


Thursday, May 23rd


Jeanmar Gomez (PIT) Vs CHC Owned in 3% of Yahoo Leagues.

If Jeanmar can keep the ball in the park and get past 5 Innings, he could find himself with a win. Edwin Jackson has given 15 runs in his past 4 starts.


Friday, May 24th


Brandon McCarthy (ARZ) Vs SD Owned in 41% of Yahoo Leagues.

Pitched a complete game shutout in his last start and blanked the Phillies in 8 the game before.

Pitchers to Stream Review (Week 6)

6 Games Started
3 Wins
36.2 Innings
36 K's
2.62 ERA

Nick Tepesch  4 IP, 4 K, 11.25 ERA
Andrew Cashner  7.1 IP, 4 K, 0.00 ERA and a Win
James McDonald - Put on the DL
Hector Santiago 7 IP, 8 K, 0.00 ERA
Jeff Locke 6 IP, 3 K, 1.50 ERA
Nick Tepesch 6 IP, 8 K, 1.50 ERA and a Win
Chris Capuano 6.1 IP, 7 K, 1.47 ERA and a Win

Probably my best week of the year besides the Wins.  If you take out Tepesch's first start of the week I could have had a 0.89 ERA for the week. Always gotta have that one hiccup.

Pitchers To Stream (Week 7)

Tuesday, May 14th


Chris Tillman (BAL) Vs SD Owned in 28% of Yahoo Leagues.

Tillman's been getting more comfortable on the mound each time he's out there and it's been showing. Tillman has won his last 3 starts and will be facing the Padres.

John Gast (STL) Vs NYM Owned in 0% of Yahoo Leagues.

Gast is having a great season in the minors with a 1.16 ERA in 7 starts.  Facing a guys who's struggled all year in Gee, I'd take a flyer on Gast.

Jeff Locke (PIT) Vs MIL Owned in 8% of Yahoo Leagues.

Brew Crew only has one win in the last 10 games. Enough said !!


Wednesday, May 15th


Mike Leake (CIN) Vs MIA Owned in 3% of Yahoo Leagues.

Facing the Marlins and can be picked up in almost any league so go for it.


Thursday, May 16th


Jerome Williams (LAA) Vs CHW Owned in 3% of Yahoo Leagues.

Williams Beat the Chi Sox last week and didn't look too bad.

Fransisco Liriano (PIT) Vs MIL Owned in 18% of Yahoo Leagues.

Liriano actually looked sharp in his first outing and struck out 9 Mets. Brewers are struggling and besides a few decent hitters in the line up, I don't see why Liriano can't have similar stats as his first start.


Friday, May 17th


Jeanmar Gomez (PIT) Vs HOU Owned in 3% of Yahoo Leagues.

Left his last start due to calf tightness. So keep an eye if he'll be making this start and if so grab him.


Saturday, May 18th


Zach McAllister (CLE) Vs Sea Owned in 20% of Yahoo Leagues.

McAllister is dueled up against Maurer who I've streamed against all year. Maurer has a 2-5 record and 5.97 ERA.

Pitchers To Stream Review (Week 5)

6 Games Started
3 Wins
34 Innings
25 K's
5.05 ERA

From:

Hammel Vs SEA - 5 IP, 5 K, 3.60 ERA and a Win
Cashner Vs CHC - 4 IP, 1 K, 9.00 ERA
Chen Vs SEA - 4 IP, 6 K, 11.25 ERA
Wood Vs SD - 7.2 IP, 3 K, 3.75 ERA
Pettibone Vs MIa - 6.1 IP, 3 K, 1.47 ERA and a Win
Corbin Vs SD - 7 IP, 7 K, 1.28 ERA and a Win

Week would have looked great if Cashner and Chen didn't blow it for me.

Pitchers To Stream (Week 6)

Monday, May 6th


Nick Tepesch (TEX) Vs CHC Owned in 12% of Yahoo Leagues

Tepesch is a good ground ball pitcher and has a low walk rate. This means he'll be forcing the Cubs to put the ball in play and their overall hitting results this year Isn't too impressive.

Andrew Cashner (SD) Vs MIA Owned in 28% of Yahoo Leagues

Marlins did have an outburst of runs yesterday and have been looking better since Stanton hit the DL but they are still the Marlins and still have an in experienced lineup who will be facing Cashner and he's filthy stuff.


Tuesday, May 7th


James McDonald (PIT) Vs SEA Owned in 19% of Yahoo Leagues

Hasn't looked as great as he did last year, but the Pirates still have a good team that can help get you wins and he will be facing the Mariners and Mauer.


Wednesday, May 8th


Hector Santiago (CHW) Vs NYM Owned in 5% of Yahoo Leagues

Santiago filled in for Peavy against the Rangers for his first start of the season and only allowed 1 run and had 6 K's. He'll be facing the Mets with Dillon Gee on the mound who has looked terrible so far this season.



Thursday, May 9th


Jeff Locke (PIT) Vs NYM Owned in 6% of Yahoo Leagues

More of a match up I like besides the way Locke can pitch. He's looked decent but walks have been getting him in trouble. If he keeps the walks down he could have an easy win against Marcum.


Sunday, May 12th


Nick Tepesch (TEX) Vs HOU Owned in 12% of Yahoo Leagues

Same write up as before against the Cubbies. Facing a team that has hitting woes. Should be an easy win for the Rangers and Tepesch.

Chris Capuano (LAD) Vs MIA Owned in 6% of Yahoo Leagues

Coming off the DL and on the waiver wire in most leagues, I'd grab him for this start. Caps gets his first start off the season on Monday and should feel comfortable going against the Marlins on his second start.
