It’s a jam-packed Saturday of baseball with seven games this afternoon and nine more taking place under the lights. The White Sox and Royals have a pair of games this afternoon as they finish up last night’s suspended game and then play their regular scheduled Saturday afternoon contest. If you need to hit the waiver wire in search of streaming starting pitchers, check out my favorite options on the following slides.
Each of the pitchers highlighted in the following slides is expected to take the mound on this Saturday, and as of this morning, they available in over 50% of ESPN leagues. Each morning, you can find these available starting pitchers here on our Fansided fantasy baseball hub. These streaming starting pitchers make good pickup options for standard leagues, but they can also be used as value options if you’re building a lineup for daily league fantasy baseball.
If you want to discuss your streaming starting pitchers, other waiver wire pickups, offer alternative options, or let me know how our fantasy baseball coverage can be more of a help to you, find us @FansidedFantasy on Twitter. In the coming weeks as the NBA playoffs start to slow down, we’ll be able to expand our daily league fantasy baseball coverage, so stay tuned.
In the past two days, my eight picks are a combined 1-2 with a 3.65 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 49.1 innings. Hopefully today’s picks can find some wins after Aaron Harang and Mike Leake had hard-luck no-decisions yesterday.
With 30 probable pitchers taking the mound today, here are the ones you should target in your search for streaming starting pitchers:
