Welcome back, Rotoballers. It's a smaller slate today with 10 games on the docket. There aren't any aces on the board, but there is plenty of juicy streamers!
In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 6/16/16. 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. 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 rowdy.
Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week.

Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays
Blake Snell (SP, TB) vs Mariners
Must Stream
All aboard the hype train. Snell makes his second start in 2016 and his home debut versus a formidable Mariners lineup. The matchup isn't ideal but this is No. 2 prospect in baseball who was lights out in his debut versus the Yankees (5 IP, ER). Grab him and ask questions later.
J.A. Happ (SP, TOR) at Phillies
Must Stream
Happ has fallen off of late (7.50 ERA in June) but a date with the Phillies should be just the remedy. The Phillies .610 OPS versus LHP is 29th in baseball.
Max’s Value Plays of the Day
James Paxton (SP, SEA) at Rays
Solid Stream
Paxton has been excellent since returning from the minors, allowing just one earned run in his past two outings (12.1 IP). He was reaching 98 MPH as late as the seventh inning in his last start. The Rays are a top-five offense versus LHP but I'm willing to roll the dice with Paxton given his recent outburst.
Dan Straily (SP, CIN) at Braves
Must Stream
You had me at Atlanta Braves. The Braves .640 OPS versus RHP is the worst in baseball while Straily has a 1.93 ERA in the month of June. This is a no-brainer.
Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball
Matt Wisler (SP, ATL) vs Reds
Wisler's streak of seven straight quality starts seems like a distant memory now. He's been lit up in his past four starts (8.10 ERA) and gets a Reds lineup that has been a top-10 unit versus RHP.
Danny Duffy (SP, KC) vs Tigers
Love the pitcher, hate the matchup. The Tigers are a top-10 unit versus LHP and Duffy isn't going deep into ballgames. Call this a hunch if you will, but I'm passing on the Duffman.
