Slate Outlook
Happy Sunday everyone! Almost another week of baseball is gone but we still have a long way to go! Today brings us another really great slate for streaming. We have six starters that have a 7.0 rating or higher. For those in head-to-head leagues don’t hesitate to stream these players and try to win those categories!
Today’s Streamer (Under 30% rostered)
Hey, we have our streamer of the week! Tyler Anderson takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks who unlike last season seem to struggle against left-handed pitching. On top of that, you have Tyler Anderson who is just flat-out dominating lately. He is one of four pitchers to be ranked in the top ten in K-BB% and top five in SwStr% for the month of May. In his last three starts, he holds a 23.7K-BB% and 14.8 SwStr%. He has been a stud.
If Anderson is rostered you can turn your head towards Nick Pivetta. Pivetta has continued to pitch really well in May and in his last three starts, he has an above-average K-BB%, SIERA, and SwStr%. He takes on the Baltimore Orioles who have been towards the bottom in virtually every offensive category.
Deep League Streamer (Under 15% rostered)
Your deep league option is another pitcher who has pitched well in Dane Dunning. In four starts in May Dunning holds a 4.88 ERA but it comes with a 3.47 xFIP, 3.93 FIP, and 24.3 K%. He does have the tendency to get hit from time to time but facing the offense of the Athletics I think the chances of that happening are low.
If Dane Dunning is gone Kyle Freeland would be a decent option facing off against the Washinton Nationals. He had a successful start against the Pirates and tends to pitch better outside of Coors Field…obviously.
Shallow League Streamer (Under 50% rostered)
Tyler Anderson and Nick Pivetta.
