Starting Pitchers for Saturday

Pitchers are ranked based on their projected fantasy points (FPTS) using ESPN's standard scoring system. Here are the top performers:

  • Brady Singer (R) @ HOU: 11.3 FPTS, 57% win probability, 5.8 IP, 2.4 ER, 5.4 K
  • Joe Ryan (R) vs SF: 11.1 FPTS, 55% win probability, 5.6 IP, 2.7 ER, 6.4 K
  • Carlos Rodon (L) @ ATH: 10.8 FPTS, 51% win probability, 5.6 IP, 2.6 ER, 6.1 K

Pitchers to Stream

  • AJ Smith-Shawver (R) @ PIT: Coming off a strong outing, Smith-Shawver is a great streaming option against the Pirates.
  • Shane Smith (R) vs MIA: Introducing a new changeup, Smith is effective and faces a below-average Marlins lineup.

Pitchers to Avoid

  • Corbin Burnes (R) vs LAD: Despite being cleared to play, Burnes' declining strikeout rate and sinker velocity make him a risky choice against the Dodgers.

Hitters to Stream

  • Baltimore Orioles: Facing RHP Jack Kochanowicz, the Orioles' lineup, including Jackson Holliday and Ryan Mountcastle, is poised for a productive game.
