Hitter Streamers for 8/23 - Shallow Leagues
Ty France (1B/2B/3B, RHB, SEA) - 68% Rostered
Matchup: at OAK RHP Paul Blackburn
France has been swinging a hot bat this month, slashing .367/.407/.620 with 13 runs, five homers, and 13 RBI in 86 plate appearances. His .433 wOBA is tied for 9th in MLB. France continues to hit in the three or cleanup spot for the Mariners, so he's in a good spot for run production. He also has an exploitable matchup against Blackburn, who is making his second start of the season.
Frank Schwindel (1B/OF, RHB, CHC) - 40% Rostered
Matchup: vs. COL RHP Antonio Senzatela
Schwindel finds his name on this list for the second week in a row, but this time, he's in the shallow league section, demonstrating how good he's been lately. Schwindel has slashed .368/.419/.662 with nine runs, four homers, and 15 RBI in 74 plate appearances this month. His .454 wOBA is tied for fourth with Juan Soto during this stretch. Schwindel continues to hit in the two-hole, so we'll keep riding the wave against Senzatela here.
Andrew Vaughn (1B/OF, RHB, CHW) - 38% Rostered
Matchup: at TOR RHP Alek Manoah
Vaughn has really improved as the season has progressed and his prospect pedigree makes him even more enticing as a streamer. He has slashed .273/.385/.491 with a 15.4 BB% and 15.4 K% this month. That K/BB ratio is really impressive for such a young hitter. Vaughn's .380 wOBA is tied for 39th in MLB in August. This is an improving young hitter who is finishing his rookie season on a high note. Fire him up tonight.
Hitter Streamers for 8/23 - Deeper Leagues
Nicky Lopez (2B/SS, LHB, KC) - 30% Rostered
Matchup: at HOU RHP Zack Greinke
Lopez has been on fire for the past week, with one homer and eight stolen bases. This hot streak has bumped him up to the two-hole in the Royals lineup. We all know how speed is a scarce commodity in fantasy baseball, so Lopez is now a priority pickup. He's more than a streamer and needs to be rostered in more leagues. Don't worry too much about the matchup against Greinke. Pick up Lopez.
Brendan Rodgers (2B/SS, RHB, COL) - 20% Rostered
Matchup: at CHC RHP Kyle Hendricks
Rodgers is slashing .345/.387/.448 with a 19.4 K% in 62 plate appearances this month. He's also posted a .365 wOBA, which ranks 59th in MLB during this stretch. Rodgers continues to hit in the two-hole for the Rockies, so he's in a great spot. We can use him with teammate Connor Joe, who is also swinging a hot bat. These two hitters bat next to each other in the lineup, making them ideal for a Rockies stack.
Connor Joe (1B/OF, RHB, COL) - 16% Rostered
Matchup: at CHC RHP Kyle Hendricks
Joe is another hitter who has done well this month, slashing .290/.375/.565 with 10 runs, five homers, and 14 RBI in 72 plate appearances. He's posted an 11.1 BB% and 16.7 K% with a .396 wOBA (26th). Joe has been a fixture in the leadoff spot for the Rockies, putting him in a great position for run-scoring opportunities. While he has a tough matchup against Hendricks, we have to ride the hot streak on this shallow pool of streamers.
Pitcher Streamers for 8/23 - Shallow Leagues
Huascar Ynoa (RHP, ATL) - 67% Rostered
Matchup: vs. NYY
Ynoa looked sharp in his first start since May 16th in his last outing, firing 5.1 shutout innings while allowing three hits, one walk, and four strikeouts against the Marlins. Obviously, this is a much tougher matchup against the Yankees this time around, but Ynoa's strikeout upside makes him the top shallow league streamer today. He could also come in at low ownership, making him appealing in DFS tournaments.
Pitcher Streamers for 8/23 - Deep Leagues
Daniel Lynch (LHP, KC) - 15% Rostered
Matchup: at HOU
Lynch has really started to turn the corner since being recalled on July 25th, putting up a 2.35 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 11 walks and 24 strikeouts in 30.2 innings. While it's a tough matchup against the Astros, Lynch has the most strikeout upside among deep streamers on this shallow slate. Add in his prospect pedigree and Lynch is an easy choice for today's streamer in deep leagues.
