Shallow League Streamers (50% Rostered)
Edwin Encarnacion (1B, CWS) - 52% Rostered
Encarnacion has not been great to start 2020, but he has homered four times off of right-handed pitching. He faces Brady Singer who has allowed four HR to righties across just 59 batters in 2020. The recommendation is basically a shot at a HR, which Edwin did hit in his first matchup with Singer just under a week ago on August 29th.
Deeper League Streamers (25% Rostered)
Dane Dunning (SP, CWS) - 26% Rostered
Dunning is off to a fine start as he currently has a 2.89 ERA, .75 WHIP, and 14 K across his first 9.1 IP. He has a solid matchup vs. the Royals who are posting just 86 wRC+ vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks, which ranks seventh-worst in the league over that span. The Royals are also posting a 22.5% K rate vs. righties over that same span, which is not superb, either.
Austin Riley (3B/OF, ATL) - 39% Rostered
Austin Riley has been solid in 2020 as he is currently has a .250 AVG with six HR overall. He has been especially solid vs. right-handed pitching as he has posted a .388 wOBA with five HR and 19 RBI. His opponent, Austin Voth, has struggled vs. both sides of the plate this season as he has posted a 7.98 ERA. He has allowed four HR and four doubles to righties across just 57 batters.
Deepest League Streamers (10% Rostered)
Freddy Galvis (2B/SS, CIN) - 9% Rostered
Freddy Galvis gets a solid matchup vs. Steven Brault and the Pirates pen. Galvis has been solid vs. left-handed pitching in 2020 as he is posting a .792 OPS and two HR across 24 PA. Brault has struggled vs. righties in his career as he has allowed a .262 BAA and 20 HR since 2018 across facing 744 batters.
Adam Duvall (OF, ATL) - 2% Rostered
Adam Duvall has been on absolute fire the past week as he has mashed four HR over that span. He has done most of his damage off righties this season as he has hit six of his eight HR off of them. Voth's struggles against righties are mentioned above and this could be another opportunity for Duvall to go yard.
Nick Markakis (OF, ATL) - 9% Rostered
With Markakis, we have an opportunity to attack Voth from the other side of the plate. He has allowed three HR to lefties across 55 batters and has also allowed a .360 BAA. Markakis has been very solid vs. righties as he is posting an .889 OPS with a homer and nine RBI on the season.
Yan Gomes (C, WAS) - 5% Rostered
For his career, Gomes is a .278 hitter with an .813 OPS vs. lefties, so the track record is there. He has also started 2020 very hot vs. lefties as he has posted a .908 OPS with a double, triple, and four RBI off southpaws. Tommy Milone has also struggled vs. right-handed hitters as he has posted a 7.17 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP and five HR allowed to them thus far in 2020.
