Hitter Streamers for 5/10 - Shallow Leagues
Ryan Mountcastle (1B/OF, RHB, BAL ) - 42% Rostered
Matchup: vs. BOS LHP Martin Perez
Ryan Mountcastle came into the season as an intriguing young power hitter with prospect pedigree, but he's gotten off to a slow start with only two home runs so far. However, he's starting to pick it up of late, going 5-for-12 (.417) with one homer and three RBI in his last three games. He's been much better against lefties this year, slashing .289/.293/.395 with a home run against them.
Miguel Rojas (SS, RHB, MIA) - 25% Rostered
Matchup: at ARI RHP Luke Weaver
Miguel Rojas is scorching hot right now, going 11-for-24 (.458) with nine runs, two homers, and five RBI in his last six games. He's been a fixture as the leadoff hitter for the Marlins, so he's in a prime position to rack up runs. Rojas goes up against Luke Weaver, who has posted a 6.09 xERA this season. Ride the wave with Rojas because he has the ability to stick on your roster with how he's swinging the bat.
Austin Hays (OF, RHB, BAL) - 18% Rostered
Matchup: vs. BOS LHP Martin Perez
Austin Hays is slashing .393/.414/.821 with three homers against lefties this year and he gets an exploitable matchup against Martin Perez. Hays has been hitting in the two-hole in this Orioles lineup, which bodes well for his production. He's hit safely in eight of his last ten games and we need to fire him up in this strong matchup at home in the bandbox that is Camden Yards.
Adam Duvall (OF, RHB, MIA) - 17% Rostered
Matchup: at ARI RHP Luke Weaver
Adam Duvall is a better play against lefties, but he's still worth using because of his power upside, strong matchup, and favorable lineup slot. He's hit in the cleanup spot in eight consecutive games, so he's in a prime spot for run production. Duvall makes for a nice pairing if you decide to stack Marlins in DFS. He's also homered in two of his last five games.
Hitter Streamers for 5/10 - Deep Leagues
Bobby Dalbec (1B, RHB, BOS) - 17% Rostered
Matchup: at BAL RHP Jorge Lopez
Bobby Dalbec has massive power, but with contact issues, so whenever we start to see him piling up extra-base hits, it's time to fire him up. Dalbec has done just that in recent games, going 4-for-12 (.300) with one home run, one double, and five RBI in his last five games. He has a terrific matchup against Jorge Lopez, who has given up seven home runs in 26.1 innings this season.
Pavin Smith (1B/OF, LHB, ARI) - 14% Rostered
Matchup: vs. MIA N/A
Pavin Smith is worth a look in deeper formats because he's been hitting leadoff for the D-Backs in seven of his last nine games. Smith has put up a hard-hit rate in the 79th-percentile. He's also gone 11-for-41 (.268) with three runs, one homer, and four RBI in his last ten games. While we don't know who's pitching for the Marlins yet, it's still worth it to stream Smith because of his prime spot in the lineup.
Hunter Renfroe (OF, RHB, BOS) - 3% Rostered
Matchup: at BAL RHP Jorge Lopez
Hunter Renfroe is scorching hot right now, going 11-for-35 (.314) with seven runs, three homers, and nine RBI in his last eight games. He gets a great matchup against Lopez, who is giving up an xwOBA in the 27th-percentile. Renfroe has a good opportunity to go yard in this game at Camden Yards. The Red Sox should be able to pile up runs in this game and you'll want to have a piece of that action with Renfroe.
Isan Diaz (2B, LHB, MIA) - 1% Rostered
Matchup: at ARI RHP Luke Weaver
Isan Diaz has shown some power upside since being called up, homering twice in nine games. He's been much better against righties, slashing .294/.429/.647 with two homers against them this season. Diaz should be a low-priced option in DFS who figures to go low-owned. He's worth a look in deeper formats. Take advantage of the exploitable matchup with Weaver on the mound.
Pitcher Streamers for 5/10 - Shallow Leagues
Kyle Gibson (RHP, TEX) - 62% Rostered
Matchup: @ SF
Kyle Gibson is rolling right now, allowing only six earned runs in his last six starts, spanning 41 innings. He's walked 10 and struck out 34 during that stretch. Gibson takes on a Giants offense that has struggled against righties, posting a 27.9 K% (T-29th) against them. He has strikeout upside in this pitcher's park.
Pitcher Streamers for 5/10 - Deep Leagues
Luis Garcia (RHP, HOU) - 7% Rostered
Matchup: vs. LAA
Luis Garcia has shown that he has strikeout upside, posting 14 strikeouts in his last two starts, spanning 9.2 innings. He's put up an impressive 29.6% CSW and 14.2% SwStr%. Garcia is worth a look in a home start against the Angels even though they're not an easy matchup. It's a tough slate for deep streamers, but Garcia sticks out to me.
