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.
Since it is a Friday night slate, that means there will be plenty of action, and tonight we have 14 games to choose from. The best options on tonight's slate come from the Reds, Pirates, Mariners, Giants, Indians, and Nationals.

Shallow League Streamers (50% Rostered)
Jesse Winker (OF, CIN) - 58% Rostered
Look, you know the drill with Winker by now. The fact that he is still available in 42% of leagues is almost criminal. I thought yesterday was his last time in the article, but he apparently gets one more shot. He is mashing right-handed pitching and he is going against Dakota Hudson, who allowed a .260 BAA to left-handed hitters in 2019 while also allowing 11 of his 22 HR and 26 doubles.
Deeper League Streamers (25% Rostered)
Colin Moran (1B/2B/3B, PIT) - 29% Rostered
While Moran has slowed down a bit after a scorching start, he has still shown the ability to hit right-handed pitching well in 2020 as noted by his .382 wOBA and five HR in just 48 AB. He will be facing Adrian Houser, who has allowed a .298 BAA and three HR to left-handed hitters across facing just 54 batters. This could be a match made in heaven for Moran.
Austin Nola (C/1B/2B, SEA) - 27% rostered
While Seattle has not faired well on the whole vs. left-handed pitching, the same cannot be said for Austin Nola. Nola has slashed .286/.375/.500 vs. lefties with a double, triple, and two RBI across just 14 AB. He will also be at home where he currently boasts a 1.159 OPS.
Austin Slater (OF, SF) - 27% Rostered
Austin Slater is likely to be leading off vs. left-hander Robbie Ray and that is a good thing. Slater has been tormenting left-handed pitching in 2020 by posting a 1.509 OPS with three bombs. He should find success against Ray as Ray has allowed five HR to righties while only facing 79 of them.
Deepest League Streamers (10% Rostered)
Adam Plutko (SP, CLE) - 9% Rostered
Plutko is a decent start Friday against a Tigers team that struggles mightily against right-handed pitching. The Tigers currently rank second-worst in the league in terms of K rate vs. righties with a rate of 29.0%. They have also struggled to score runs vs. righties as they rank fourth-worst in wRC+ with a mark of just 74.
Delino DeShields (OF/CLE) - 1% Rostered
Most of the Indians right-handed hitters are highly owned except DeShields and Domingo Santana, and right-handed hitters seem to be what you want against Michael Fulmer. Fulmer has allowed a .471 BAA and a whopping four HR all while only facing 17 batters. While DeShields is not likely to pop one out, he has posted a .381 wOBA vs. righties in 2020 and could definitely get on base and either score or steal a bag against Fulmer.
Eric Thames (1B/OF, WAS) - 16% Rostered
This is a deeper reach as Thames has struggled to start 2020, but has usually been good against right-handed pitching. Since 2018, Thames has posted a .838 OPS and hit 39 HR in 690 PA vs. righties. Elieser Hernandez has also struggled vs. lefties in the past as he allowed a .260 BAA and 11 HR in 2019 while facing just 166 batters.
