Michael Simione breaks down all the pitching streamers that you need to know for this weeks slate of games.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Today I will be spending the day with my wonderful wife away from everyone and spending the night out. It’s always good to get away with a significant other or even a friend to decompress, especially when you get to have a break from your busy life!

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 5/20
Streamer of the Day
While I don’t think Joe Ross has amazing stuff he does have a very impressive 17.7 SwStr% in the last 14 days. I will say, his slider is absolutely filthy but his sinker and four-seam just aren’t good enough to be his other two offerings.
Strikeout Upside

Tuesday 5/21
Streamer of the Day
I know Alec Marsh’s Stuff+ ranking isn’t anything to talk about but his 25.6 K-BB% and 2.77 SIERA in the last 14 days is elite. He takes on Detroit at home and the Tigers have a 24.4 K% against RHP so far this season.
Strikeout Upside
Alec Marsh and Aaron Brooks.

Wednesday 5/22
Streamer of the Day
Simeon Woods Richardson has been aggravating to start this season. He heavily relies on command and sometimes it is there while other times it isn’t. He takes on the Nationals though, they have been one of the coldest offenses in the league with a 53 wRC+ in the last seven days.
Strikeout Upside
Andrew Heaney and Nick Martinez.

Thursday 5/23
Streamer of the Day
With not a lot of options today we are getting lucky with Kyle Muller vs COL. Muller is another pitcher who relies heavily on command but the Rockies on the road can make any pitcher look good.
Strikeout Upside
Kyle Muller and Ryan Feltner.

Friday 5/24
Streamer of the Day
I struggled with this one. Bryce Elder is so bad on paper but we have seen him go on a good pitching run before. He takes on the Pirates in Pittsburgh which is a good ballpark and they have one of the highest SwStr% in the last seven days.
Strikeout Upside
Patrick Sandoval.

Saturday 5/25
Streamer of the Day
I just can’t quit Jose Soriano. His stuff is so dirty. He takes on the Guardians who will be a tough matchup but if Soriano can have solid command he can turn this into a decent start.
Strikeout Upside
Jose Soriano.

Sunday 5/26
Streamer of the Day
Another pitcher with good stuff who can’t seem to put it together just yet is Slade Cecconi. He takes on Miami at home though and his 105 Pitching+ on the season is well above average.
Strikeout Upside
Slade Cecconi and Joe Ross.
Ratio Play (High Floor)
No one.
