MLB Starting Pitcher Patrol: The Best SP Streamers for (6/16/16)

Welcome back, Rotoballers. It's a smaller slate today with 10 games on the docket. There aren't any aces on the board, but there is plenty of juicy streamers!

In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 6/16/16. These streamers will range from high-priced / high-ownership options to low-priced / low-ownership options, and will be sleepers and value picks for your cash games and GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, and also for seasonal leagues with daily lineups. There'll be three main sections of this article: our Pitcher Matchups Tool’s top plays, my value plays, and pitchers to fade. I highly recommend you check out the Daily Pitcher Matchups Ratings tool - it's an extremely useful tool for daily fantasy or seasonal streaming for finding the diamonds in the rough. Anyways, let's get rowdy.

Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays

Blake Snell (SP, TB) vs Mariners

Must Stream

All aboard the hype train. Snell makes his second start in 2016 and his home debut versus a formidable Mariners lineup. The matchup isn't ideal but this is No. 2 prospect in baseball who was lights out in his debut versus the Yankees (5 IP, ER). Grab him and ask questions later.

J.A. Happ (SP, TOR) at Phillies

Must Stream

Happ has fallen off of late (7.50 ERA in June) but a date with the Phillies should be just the remedy. The Phillies .610 OPS versus LHP is 29th in baseball.

 

Max’s Value Plays of the Day

James Paxton (SP, SEA) at Rays

Solid Stream

Paxton has been excellent since returning from the minors, allowing just one earned run in his past two outings (12.1 IP). He was reaching 98 MPH as late as the seventh inning in his last start. The Rays are a top-five offense versus LHP but I'm willing to roll the dice with Paxton given his recent outburst.

Dan Straily (SP, CIN) at Braves

Must Stream

You had me at Atlanta Braves. The Braves .640 OPS versus RHP is the worst in baseball while Straily has a 1.93 ERA in the month of June. This is a no-brainer.

 

Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball

Matt Wisler (SP, ATL) vs Reds

Wisler's streak of seven straight quality starts seems like a distant memory now. He's been lit up in his past four starts (8.10 ERA) and gets a Reds lineup that has been a top-10 unit versus RHP.

Danny Duffy (SP, KC) vs Tigers

Love the pitcher, hate the matchup. The Tigers are a top-10 unit versus LHP and Duffy isn't going deep into ballgames. Call this a hunch if you will, but I'm passing on the Duffman.

 

Full Season MLB & DFS Premium Pass

Get a Premium Pass for the entire MLB season - including the playoffs - for only $29.99. That's Premium access to over 10 tools, and over 20 valuable resources, for one incredible price. Here's a taste of what you get:
