Welcome back to the DFS Patrol. Regular season basketball is officially over which means it's all baseball here on out. In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 4/27/16. These streamers will range from high-priced / high-ownership options to low-priced / low-ownership options, and will be sleepers and value picks for your cash games and GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, and also for seasonal leagues with daily lineups.
Another full slate this Wednesday with only one early game (Padres at Giants). If you want to play that game, I recommend Jeff Samardzija, but for this article I will be focusing on the later slate. Tons of good pitching options to sift through. Let's get to it.
There'll be three main sections of this article: our Pitcher Matchups Tool’s top plays, my value plays, and pitchers to fade. I highly recommend you check out the Daily Pitcher Matchups Ratings tool - it's an extremely useful tool for daily fantasy or seasonal streaming for finding the diamonds in the rough. Anyways, let's get cracking!
Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays
Jake Arrieta (CHC) vs MIL
FanDuel - $12,900 / DraftKings - $13,800
Fresh off a no-hitter, there's no better play for cash games. He's as safe as they come and is a lock for 7+ strikeouts and 6+ innings.
Josh Tomlin (CLE) @ MIN
FanDuel - $8,700 / DraftKings - $8,800
Tomlin has a 1.54 ERA and 10/K K/BB ratio through two starts and the Twins have struggled to this point. With everyone on Jose Berrios today, ownership should be low for tourney purposes.
Max’s Value Plays of the Day
Jose Berrios (MIN) vs CLE
FanDuel - N/A / DraftKings - $6,900
The Berrios Era is upon us, and those at DraftKings get to enjoy it first. Berrios dominated at AAA (2-0, 1.06 ERA). While ownership will be high, his strikeout upside and cheap price (for Coors stack purposes) make this a no-brainer.
Steven Wright (BOS) vs ATL
FanDuel - $6,900 / DraftKings - $6,600
Beating a dead horse here, but the Braves have been AAA-esque so far. They haven't hit a home run since April 10th. I don't see that changing versus the knuckleballer. Wright is a heavy favorite in this game and should get the W.
Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball
Matt Harvey (NYM) vs CIN
FanDuel - $9,300 / DraftKings - $10,400
I expect Harvey to rebound this year, but I'm not paying this price given the alternatives. His velocity isn't there and the Reds have shown a pulse in the past few days.
Adam Wainwright (STL) @ ARI
FanDuel - $8,100 / DraftKings - $7,900
Featured him here in his last start at San Diego. I feel even worse about this outing in Arizona. Wainwright has nine strikeouts in 22.1 innings so far. While he did show improvements against San Diego, the low strikeout totals make this a fade.
