Best Available Two-Start Pitcher Streamers

Kyle Gibson (36% Rostered), St. Louis Cardinals

Scheduled Starts: vs. ATL, vs. CIN

Kyle Gibson was on the opposite side of these tracks in last week’s column; as predicted, he suffered against the Atlanta Braves (four earned runs allowed in four innings). However, Gibson finds himself as the recommended stream this week.

Even after a poor outing against Atlanta, Gibson still holds a 3.70 ERA, 4.18 FIP, 4.04 xFIP, 21.2% strikeout rate, and 29.3% CSW%. While that’s not a bulletproof profile, it should be enough against Washington and Pittsburgh – two offenses that rank 20th and 24th, respectively, in scoring this season.

Risky Two-Start Streamer Picks

Zack Littell (23% Rostered), Tampa Bay Rays

Scheduled Starts: @ KC, @ TEX

While there have been some potholes, Littell has served well in a streaming capacity this season. His 3.72 FIP, 22% strikeout rate and 4.3% walk rate are going to be enough most weeks, but a top-10 scoring Kansas City brings some concern. Littell is a decent option, but he comes with a higher bust potential than usual this week.

Simeon Woods Richardson (17% Rostered), Minnesota Twins

Scheduled Starts: vs. DET, vs. HOU

Simeon Woods Richardson has settled into a nice season, with a 3.41 ERA, 3.64 FIP, 1.14 WHIP, 20.5% strikeout rate, and 7% walk rate through 13 starts.

While his stuff has fallen short this season (85 Stuff+ grade, 26.2% CSW%, 10.8% SwStr%), he’s located well (104 Location+ grade) enough to gain fantasy relevance in most weeks. He isn’t a bad option this week with Detroit on the slate, but a Houston offense that ranks top-10 in runs scored this month leaves him as a risky option.

Spencer Arrighetti (7% Rostered), Houston Astros

Scheduled Starts: @ TOR, @ MIN

With a 5.68 ERA through 14 starts, Spencer Arrighetti is already a tough sell against a Blue Jays offense ranked 26th in runs scored -- much less with his second start a Minnesota offense ranked eighth in runs scored this season.

Bryse Wilson (7% Rostered), Milwaukee Brewers

Scheduled Starts: @ COL, @ LAD

A pitcher with a 19% strikeout rate and 4.88 FIP is not someone you’d want to stream with starts in Coors and against the Dodgers up next.

David Peterson (5% Rostered), New York Mets

Scheduled Starts: @ WAS, @ PIT

Maybe the 3.67 ERA and match-ups against the Nationals and Pirates may fool some, but it shouldn’t fool you. Peterson’s 5.34 xERA, 1.48 WHIP, 16.5% strikeout rate, 10.7% walk rate, and 25.1% CSW% signal serious and pervading weakness.
