Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Thursday 9/17

Welcome to another edition of MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers! We have reached the home stretch of this truncated MLB season and that likely means many of you are in the playoffs. I know I am, which means streaming is as important as ever.

RotoBaller has been dishing out streamer advice for years. We're always streamin and dreamin. Each day we'll publish some of the best streaming options to consider in your fantasy baseball daily league lineups. Streaming pitchers and position players to exploit a matchup are extremely important in fantasy baseball, especially in a truncated season like this one.

We have a 12-game slate to choose from today, which means we should have some solid options to choose from. The best options on today's slate come from the Rangers, Angels, Pirates, Cardinals, Marlins, and Rays.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and weekly lineup resources:

 

Shallow League Streamers (50% Rostered)

Isiah Kiner-Falefa (C/3B/SS, TEX) - 64% Rostered

There is a good chance Kiner-Falefa is owned in your league, but if he isn't, he could make for a solid stream vs. Astros' left-hander Framber Valdez. Valdez has had some ups and downs in 2020 and is currently posting a 4.017 ERA and 3.88 FIP vs. righties. This could be higher as he has also gotten lucky by allowing a .318 BABIP. Kiner-Falefa has handled lefties well in 2020 as he has posted a .444 wOBA with two doubles and one HR.

 

Deeper League Streamers (25% Rostered)

Griffin Canning (SP, LAA) - 21% Rostered

Canning has been serviceable across his 45.1 IP as he has posted a 4.57 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and has struck out 39. This matchup is more about his opponent, the Diamondbacks, who are posting a lowly wRC+ mark of 76 over the previous two weeks, which ranks fifth-worst in baseball. They are also striking out at a rate of 21.8% over the same time frame, which has them ranked 19th-highest in the league. This should be a solid spot for Canning.

Colin Moran (1B/2B/3B, PIT) - 21% Rostered

Moran gets a matchup vs. Cardinals right-hander, Dakota Hudson who has allowed a 5.23 FIP and three HR to left-handed hitters across 16 IP. Moran has done well vs. righties in 2020 as he is posting a .358 wOBA with six bombs across 93 AB.

Kolten Wong (2B, STL) - 35% Rostered

This is a lefty-on-lefty matchup that could work out in Wong's favor. Brault has limited action (4.1 IP) vs. left-handed hitters in 2020, but he has allowed three hits, 10BB/9, and a .429 BABIP. Wong is seeing lefties well in 2020 as he has posted a .364 OBP with a double and two RBI in just 20 AB.

 

Deepest League Streamers (10% Rostered)

Jesus Aguilar (1B, MIA) - 19% Rostered

Aguilar gets a pretty solid matchup vs. Red Sox right-hander, Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi has struggled vs. right-handed hitters in 2020 as he has allowed a 7.47 ERA and 5.89 FIP. He has also allowed five HR across just 17.1 IP. Aguilar has done well vs. right-handers in 2020 as he has smacked five HR across 96 AB while also posting a .373 wOBA.
