Sunday wraps up another great week of fantasy baseball with a full day of MLB action. Tonight’s Sunday Night Baseball featured game is the final game of the subway series between the Mets and Yankees who are both playing well early on this season. If you are looking for a finishing boost to your starting rotation from the waiver wire, check out my top five options on the following slides.
Each of the pitchers highlighted in the following slides is expected to take the mound on this Sunday, and as of this morning, they available in over 50% of ESPN leagues. Each morning at around 7:00 AM ET, you can find these available starting pitchers 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 options, or let me know how our fantasy baseball coverage can be more of a help to you, find me throughout the day @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 to offer full lineups, so stay tuned.
In the past three days, my 12 picks have totaled 71.2 innings picking up 64 strikeouts and going 2-3. Yesterday, my picks demonstrated the weirdness of the win stat as Brandon McCarthy got a win (5 IP, 6 H, 6 ER) and A.J. Burnett didn’t (7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER). If you’re still looking for wins, though, there are some options I like today if you still need to get a few wins.
As you look to finish your week strong, here are the top five options you should target in your search for streaming starting pitchers:
