Week 3 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week.

Tyler Austin Tossed As Yankees, Red Sox Brawl

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are eternal rivals and once again proved why Wednesday at Fenway Park.
