The Chart

  • A quick update. It seems no one pays attention to ESPN leagues or most of them are very small leagues. My picks will now only be under 30% rostered in Yahoo!

Analysis and Backup Options

Monday 5/13

Streamer of the Day

You know how I like it, I like going with guys who have good stuff and Jose Soriano is that. He has an above-average 105 Stuff+ for the season and takes on a Cardinals offense who has an 84 wRC+ in the last seven days.

Strikeout Upside

Jose Soriano and Trevor Williams.

  5. Colin Rea vs PIT

Tuesday 5/14

Streamer of the Day

The Marlins offense is just flat-out not good. We are going to go with a high-floor type of pitcher here in Reese Olson. A super safe pick with a pitcher who has a decent 3.58 SIERA in the last two weeks.

Strikeout Upside

Chris Paddack and Jack Leiter.

Reese Olson

  5. JP Sears at HOU

Wednesday 5/15

Streamer of the Day

Alec Marsh’s underlying metrics before his most recent start looked pretty mixed to me. I think he is a solid option for deep leagues. In his last start he looked really good though and had an insane SwStr%. I’m not sure he repeats but he is worth the shot.

Strikeout Upside

Alec Marsh and Robert Gasser.

Thursday 5/16

Streamer of the Day

As of right now we literally have one option. Cooper Criswell vs TBR. I wouldn’t do it. I know he has looked good but the Rays are hot and great at platooning so I think we get a decent start at best.

Strikeout Upside

Cooper Criswell vs TBR.

Friday 5/17

Streamer of the Day

I am going against my sheet here as it ranks Mason Black toward the bottom for this day. But honestly, I will take a pitcher with a lot of talent against a terrible Rockies team on the road any day.

Strikeout Upside

Mason Black and Andrew Heaney.

Ratio Play (High Floor)

Mason Black and Tyler Alexander.

Win/QS Potential

Mason Black, Andrew Heaney, and Simeon Woods Richardson.

  3. Tyler Alexander at TOR

  4. Simeon Woods Richardson at CLE

  5. Kyle Hendricks vs PIT

Saturday 5/18

Streamer of the Day

It looks like Tylor Megill will be back to face Miami this week. I still have faith in his stuff as he pumps high heat with a good breaking ball. I’m hoping he is healthy and can get back to being a very good pitcher.

Strikeout Upside

Tylor Megill and Patrick Sandoval.

Sunday 5/19

Streamer of the Day

Chris Paddack has been phenomenal in his last couple of starts. He has a 30.4 K-BB% and 14.8 SwStr% in the last two weeks. He is on a heater and he takes on the coldest offense in the league right now the Guardians who have a 81 wRC+ in the last seven days.

Strikeout Upside

Chris Paddack and Jose Soriano.

Ratio Play (High Floor)

Chris Paddack and Sean Manaea.
