Hitter Streamers for 6/3 - Shallow Leagues
C.J. Cron (1B, COL) - 46% rostered
Matchup: vs. RHP Mike Foltynewicz
Coors Field games send us running for any streamer available. Cron is back from injury, and that has suppressed his roster% enough to make him a streamer. The Statcast metrics are all there for a big day. His barrel% is nearly 10%, and .456 xwOBAcon means that it is of a quality nature anytime he makes contact. Even better, he faces Mike Foltynewicz, who gives up a ton of contact. Everything looks like it's going to add up to a big day!
Ty France (1B/2B/3B, SEA) - 34% rostered
Matchup: @ RHP Griffin Canning
France is a streaming manager's dream. As shown by the 77th percentile in whiff% and 65th percentile in chase rate, his balanced approach to the dish helps keep him in every AB. Pair that plate discipline with a 9.1% barrel rate and career-high 37% hard-hit rate, and you've got the making for a productive outing. It should also be noted that France is riding a hot streak by going 13-for-38 since returning from injury.
Willy Adames (SS, MIL) - 26% rostered
Matchup: @ RHP Jon Duplantier
Adames has been on my radar since the Brewers acquired him from the Rays. The young SS noted that he had trouble picking up the ball at the Tropicana. However, since joining his new squad, Adames is slashing .289/.386/.500 with a pair of HRs. Even better is the K% has come down, and he is walking more(6 BB:12 K). Additionally, the Brewers see the success and continue to bat him in the top half of the lineup. That should make for added chances for counting stats(runs+RBI).
Hitter Streamers for 6/3 - Deep Leagues
Patrick Wisdom (1B, CHC) - 18% rostered
Matchup: @ RHP Anthony DeSclafani
Patrick Wisdom has been forcing his way into the Cubs lineup, even after Anthony Rizzo returned from the IL. Over the last week, Wisdom is 10-for-21 with four HRs and even chipped in a stolen base. This is 100% a hot-hand play, so keep tossing him in your lineups until he cools off.
Jon Berti (2B/3B/SS/OF, MIA) - 10% rostered
Matchup: @ LHP Tyler Anderson
Berti is getting everyday ABs while playing the hot corner for Miami. Sadly, he has been ice cold(0-for-13) in his last week. However, tossing Berti in your lineup is not for batting average and not for power. The main reason we roster Berti is the potential to swipe a bag. He boasts the 98th percentile in sprint speed and already grabbed four bags in 115 ABs. So if you need speed, Berti is your play!
Ji-Man Choi (1B, TB) - 8% rostered
Matchup: @ RHP Gerrit Cole
Normally I would never suggest starting a player against one of the MLB's top arms. However, there is some magic with Choi. In 12 ABs vs. Cole, Choi is 8-for-12 with six extra-base hits. SIX! On top of that, three of those base knocks are HRs. Even more than just BvP stats, Choi is cruising vs. RHP. He carries a .913 OPS and two HRs vs. RHP in 2021.
Pitcher Streamers for 6/3 - Shallow Leagues
Zach Davies (SP, CHC) - 25% rostered
Matchup: @ SF Anthony DeSclafani
This could be a pretty scary streaming call because Davies has struggled immensely to find the strike zone consistently. His 27 BB to 29 Ks ratio could lead to a disastrous afternoon, I know. However, in the last month, Davies has navigated the crowded basepaths and kept his ERA down to a 1.65 mark. That is pretty remarkable when you consider he is striking out batters at an alarming rate. The paydirt lies in the matchup against the Giants. They are a solid hitting squad, but their Achilles heel is striking out vs. RHP.
Tyler Anderson (SP, PIT) - 14% rostered
Matchup: @ MIA Elieser Hernandez
Anderson was cruising in 2021 until his most recent three-game stretch. The strikeouts had been there because he punched out 19 batters in 15 innings pitched. Then, however, a new unwelcomed friend joined the ride-home runs! The Pirates pitcher gave up seven dingers in that stretch that torched his ratios and ERA. What better way to fix those issues than stepping on the mound against a Marlins' team that is 4th in the MLB for K% and slightly worse than league-average in wRC+. Fingers crossed, let's hope Anderson can keep the ball in the yard because the strikeouts are flowing for him.
