Shallow League Streamers (50% Rostered)

Isiah Kiner-Falefa (C/3B/SS, TEX) - 64% Rostered

There is a good chance Kiner-Falefa is owned in your league, but if he isn't, he could make for a solid stream vs. Astros' left-hander Framber Valdez. Valdez has had some ups and downs in 2020 and is currently posting a 4.017 ERA and 3.88 FIP vs. righties. This could be higher as he has also gotten lucky by allowing a .318 BABIP. Kiner-Falefa has handled lefties well in 2020 as he has posted a .444 wOBA with two doubles and one HR.

 

Deeper League Streamers (25% Rostered)

Griffin Canning (SP, LAA) - 21% Rostered

Canning has been serviceable across his 45.1 IP as he has posted a 4.57 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and has struck out 39. This matchup is more about his opponent, the Diamondbacks, who are posting a lowly wRC+ mark of 76 over the previous two weeks, which ranks fifth-worst in baseball. They are also striking out at a rate of 21.8% over the same time frame, which has them ranked 19th-highest in the league. This should be a solid spot for Canning.

Colin Moran (1B/2B/3B, PIT) - 21% Rostered

Moran gets a matchup vs. Cardinals right-hander, Dakota Hudson who has allowed a 5.23 FIP and three HR to left-handed hitters across 16 IP. Moran has done well vs. righties in 2020 as he is posting a .358 wOBA with six bombs across 93 AB.

Kolten Wong (2B, STL) - 35% Rostered

This is a lefty-on-lefty matchup that could work out in Wong's favor. Brault has limited action (4.1 IP) vs. left-handed hitters in 2020, but he has allowed three hits, 10BB/9, and a .429 BABIP. Wong is seeing lefties well in 2020 as he has posted a .364 OBP with a double and two RBI in just 20 AB.

 

Deepest League Streamers (10% Rostered)

Jesus Aguilar (1B, MIA) - 19% Rostered

Aguilar gets a pretty solid matchup vs. Red Sox right-hander, Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi has struggled vs. right-handed hitters in 2020 as he has allowed a 7.47 ERA and 5.89 FIP. He has also allowed five HR across just 17.1 IP. Aguilar has done well vs. right-handers in 2020 as he has smacked five HR across 96 AB while also posting a .373 wOBA.
