Weekend Pitching Streamers and Hitting Matchups to Target

This weekend in baseball is shaping up to be a pitching streamer’s dream, with plenty of mid-level hurlers set to face some of the weakest offenses in the league. On the hitting side, the Reds and Cardinals are offering some excellent streamers, while the A’s could surprise with their offense in deep leagues.

The Reds will be facing the Orioles, who have a couple of starters prone to giving up home runs. Jonathan India and Stuart Fairchild are good streamer options for the weekend, while Jeimer Candelario, Jake Fraley, and Will Benson could also have productive outings.

The Cardinals will take on the struggling White Sox pitching staff, making Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar solid options against right-handed starters. However, they may struggle against lefty Garrett Crochet on Sunday.

The A’s will be facing the Marlins, who have starters with ERAs over 4.30. Right-handed hitters Tyler Nevin and Brent Rooker could be viable options for fantasy managers looking for offense this weekend.

In terms of matchups to avoid, the Astros vs. Mariners series is expected to be low-scoring, with both teams boasting impressive pitching staffs. The Phillies vs. Giants series may also not be ideal for streaming hitters, as the Giants starters have been performing well.

For fantasy managers seeking saves, Héctor Neris of the Cubs and Jason Adam of the Rays are solid options to consider. Neris has been the Cubs closer and should see opportunities against the Brewers this weekend, while Adam has been excellent for the Rays and could pick up saves against the Mets.

Overall, this weekend offers plenty of opportunities for fantasy managers to stream pitchers and hitters, with several intriguing matchups to target and avoid. Make sure to keep an eye on the waiver wire for potential impact players to help boost your fantasy team.
