Welcome back, Rotoballers. It's a fantastic Friday as we wrap up the week with a full slate of games. There's plenty of aces (Jake Arrieta, Cole Hamels, Joe Ross, Matt Harvey) along with some great streaming plays.
In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 6/17/16. 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.

Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays
Robbie Ray (SP, ARI) at Phillies
Must Stream
Ray has been much better on the road (3.06 ERA) than at home (5.89 ERA) and has a juicy matchup here. The Phillies .610 OPS versus LHP is 29th in baseball. He'll look to keep his solid momentum his last time out versus Miami (7.2 IP, 0 ER) today.
Must Stream
How is Gray not universally owned? He has been en fuego lately (2.66 ERA over past four starts) including a 14/1 K/BB ratio in June. The Marlins .401 SLG versus RHP is 19th in baseball.
Max’s Value Plays of the Day
Trevor Bauer (SP, CLE) vs White Sox
Solid Stream
Bauer Power has been great in June (3 GS, 2.38 ERA, 19/5 K/BB ratio) and gets a White Sox lineup that has a .382 SLG versus RHP, 26th in baseball.
Risky Stream
Here's where things get dangerous. Dean has been inconsistent since joining the Twins rotation but the Yankees .683 OPS versus LHP, 27th in baseball.
Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball
Francisco Liriano (SP, PIT) at Cubs
Don't be fooled by the stat line of Liriano's previous start. He allowed four runs (one earned) and has been too erratic with his arsenal to trust in DFS. The Cubs have a .784 OPS versus LHP, 6th in baseball.
Yordano Ventura (SP, KC) vs Tigers
Ventura will be making this start instead of serving his suspension and DFS players will be wishing he'd sit this one out. The Tigers have a .776 OPS versus RHP, 6th in baseball.
