Shallow League Streamers (50% Rostered)
Jean Segura (2B/3B/SS, PHI) - 63% Rostered
Segura is scheduled to face Blue Jays left-hander Robbie Ray on Friday and that could be very beneficial to him. Segura has posted a .370 wOBA with three HR in 47 AB vs. left-handers in 2020. Meanwhile, Ray has posted an ugly 8.15 FIP and 2.35 WHIP with nine(!) HR allowed and 31(!) BB in just 29.1 IP vs. right-handed hitters.
Deeper League Streamers (25% Rostered)
Adrian Houser (SP/RP, MIL) - 34% Rostered
Houser is a mixed bag, but could find success against the Royals in this matchup. The Royals have been average at best vs. right-handed pitchers over the previous two weeks as they are striking out at a rate of 23.9%, which ranks 11th-worst in baseball, and are only posting a wRC+ mark of 93, which ranks 12th-worst over that span.
Alec Bohm (3B, PHI) - 37% Rostered
Robbie Ray's struggles vs. right-handed hitters are mentioned above and that is why I want to get as many Phillies right-handed hitters in here as possible. Bohm has been solid for the Phillies in 2020 and has had success vs. left-handed pitching as he currently boasts a .419 wOBA with two HR in just 29 AB. It also goes without saying to monitor the Phillies' lineup and see if there are any other right-handed hitters you may be able to stream vs. Ray.
Brian Anderson (3B/OF) - 31% Rostered
Anderson gets a matchup vs. right-hander Erick Fedde, who's issues vs. right-handed hitters are apparent based on him posting an 8.69 FIP and allowing a whopping seven HR to right-handed hitters across just 21.1 IP. Anderson has hit righties well as he is posting a .375 wOBA with five HR and five doubles across 108 AB.
Colin Moran (1B/2B/3B, PIT) - 21% Rostered
Going right back to Colin Moran today vs. Carlos Martinex who has struggled against hitters from both sides of the plate. Martinez has posted a 5.95 FIP and 2.75 WHIP with one HR allowed in just 4 IP vs. left-handed hitters in 2020. Moran's successes have been noted vs righties as he has posted a .372 wOBA and hit seven HR in 99 AB.
Jesus Aguilar (1B, MIA) - 20% Rostered
Going back to the Aguilar well again tonight as well. He faces Erick Fedde who's struggles vs. righties are mentioned above. Aguilar has hit righties well in 2020 as he has posted a .377 wOBA and has hit five HR across 99 AB. He is certainly a candidate to go yard Friday night.
Deepest League Streamers (10% Rostered)
Yoshitomo Tsutsugo (OF, TB) - 9% Rostered
Tsutsugo has done well in the power department vs. right-handers in 2020 as he has crushed five homers, driven in 17 runs, and hit four doubles across 93 AB. He will be facing Alex Cobb who has posted a 5.24 FIP and given up four HR to righties in 2020.
