Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Pitcher, Lineup Picks for 4/26

Top daily fantasy baseball streamers and waiver wire adds for 4/26/21. Frank Ammirante identifies MLB hitters and starting pitchers to stream based on matchups.

Welcome to the another edition of MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers! Week 3 is in the books and we here at RotoBaller are there for all of your streaming needs.

Each day RotoBaller will provide you with some of the best streaming options to consider in both shallow and deep fantasy baseball daily leagues. Streaming hitters and pitchers to exploit matchups are important to help you win your league. You can also use these recommendations to help build your DFS lineups. This article will use rostered percentages and position eligibility from Yahoo! leagues.

Today we have an 11-game slate, giving us a deep player pool for streamers.

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

 

Hitter Streamers for 4/26 - Shallow Leagues

Luis Arraez (2B/3B/OF, LHB, MIN) - 45% Rostered

Matchup: @ CLE RHP Zach Plesac

Luis Arraez is locked into the leadoff spot for the Twins. Arraez doesn't have any power, but he has an elite contact profile and should be able to get on-base in this game.  He has put up a 138 wRC+ in his career against RHP. Arraez has a good matchup against Plesac, who has given up a ton of hard contact this season. Plesac grades poorly in hard-hit rate (26th-percentile) and average exit velocity (33rd-percrntile).

Nick Senzel (OF, RHB, CIN) - 29% Rostered

Matchup: @ LAD LHP Julio Urias

Nick Senzel has gotten off to a slow start, slashing .231/.310/.288 with zero home runs and one stolen base, but the turnaround is coming soon. Senzel is generating hard contact, posting a .301 xBA and .507 xSLG, both considerably higher than his actual stats. Senzel has posted a career 96 wRC+ vs. LHP (79 vs. RHP). This could help him overcome the tough matchup against Urias, who is coming off a dominant outing against the Mariners.

Hunter Dozier (1B/3B/OF, RHB, KC) - 26% Rostered

Matchup: @ DET RHP Spencer Turnbull

Hunter Dozier is starting to get hot of late, homering twice in his last four games. He's mostly hitting in the 5th or 6th spot in this Royals lineup. Turnbull pitched well in his season debut, but he has control issues, posting a 10.5% walk rate in 56.2 innings last season. This isn't a matchup to fear, so Dozier is worth a stream in the hope that he's starting a power binge.

Willi Castro (3B/SS, SHB, DET) - 13% Rostered

Matchup: vs. KC RHP Brad Keller

Willi Castro can crush the baseball, posting a 115.4 MPH max exit velocity, which ranks in the 97th-percentile. He hit his first homer of the season on Saturday, so this could be the start of a hot streak. Castro has a great matchup against Keller, who has been an absolute disaster this season. Keller has failed to pitch more than 3.1 innings in three of his four starts, allowing 15 runs in that span.

 

Hitter Streamers for 4/26 - Deep Leagues

Mike Brosseau (1B/2B/3B/OF, RHB, TB) - 4% Rostered

Matchup: vs. LHP Sean Manaea

Mike Brosseau is always in play for a stream against a lefty. He's put up a 123 wRC+ vs. LHP so far this season. Brosseau has also been a fixture in the cleanup spot whenever a lefty is on the mound, putting him in prime position for run production. While Manaea is off go a good start this season, allowing only three runs in his last three starts, Brosseau is a lefty-masher that we have to fire up for this game.

Tyler O'Neill (OF, RHB, STL) 4% Rostered

Matchup: vs. PHI RHP Zack Wheeler

Fantasy players have long been intrigued by O'Neill's power, so he's worth a look as a streamer against Wheeler because we could be in the midst of a power binge. O'Neill homered twice on Sunday, so there's a chance that this could be the start of a hot streak. Wheeler has had issues with the longball so far this year, coming off an outing against the Giants where he allowed three homers.

Willie Calhoun (OF, LHB, TEX) - 3% Rostered

Matchup: vs. LAA RHP Shohei Ohtani

Willie Calhoun is heating up as of late, going 8-for-24 (.333) with four runs, one home run, and two RBI in his last seven games. Calhoun has put up a 110.6 MPH max exit velocity, which ranks in the 79th-percentile. This is a player with prospect pedigree and power, so he's worth a look even against Ohtani, who has really struggled with control so far this season, walking 11 batters in only 8.2 innings.

Rougned Odor (2B, LHB, NYY) - 3% Rostered

Matchup: at BAL RHP Matt Harvey

Rougned Odor has found new life in New York, homering three times in his last six games. He even found his way to the cleanup spot on Sunday, which would be huge for his fantasy value if that can continue. Odor has a great matchup in the bandbox that is Camden Yards against Harvey, who has given up six runs and two home runs in two home starts. Odor has a great chance to go yard in this game.

 

Pitcher Streamers for 4/26 - Shallow Leagues

Anthony DeSclafani (RHP, SF) - 40% Rostered

Matchup: vs. COL

It's always a great idea to stream against the Rockies away from Coors, especially in their first game on the road. Last time DeSclafani faced the Rockies at home on April 11, he pitched six shutout innings, walking one and striking out eight. DeSclafani should be able to exploit this matchup and turn in another quality outing.

 

Pitcher Streamers for 4/26 - Deep Leagues

Deivi Garcia (RHP, NYY) - 10% Rostered

Matchup: @ BAL

Any time a top prospect is starting, they're usually worth a look as a streamer. This is the case with Deivi Garcia, who takes on a slumping Orioles offense that has scored two runs or less in four of their last six games. Garcia has a great chance at the win with the Yankees starting to turn the corner, coming off a series win in Cleveland.
