After a strong start to the week yesterday including the Patriots’ Day game in Boston, Major League Baseball has a full schedule tonight with all 30 teams schedule to take the field today.  There is one afternoon game on tap as the Brewers take on the Twins in Minnesota in an interleave game, and also one early evening game with the Mariners facing the Indians at 6:10.  If you are looking for starting pitching options, there are definitely some fantasy baseball streaming pitchers who can help your fantasy team today whether you’re searching for help for your season-long team or looking for a DFS bargain.

Each of the pitchers highlighted in the following slides is expected to take the mound this Tuesday, and as of this morning, they are available in over 50% of ESPN leagues.  Each morning, you can find these available starting pitchers here on our FanSided fantasy baseball hub. These fantasy baseball streaming pitchers make good pickup options for standard leagues, but they can also be used as value options if you’re building a lineup for daily league fantasy baseball.

Yesterday, my picks for the 2016 season got off to a strong start with J.A. Happ (pictured above) getting the win in the Patriots’ Day game in Boston. Unfortunately, the evening wasn’t as good for my picks since Jerad Eickhoff lost even though he pitched well (including nine K’s in seven innings), and Chase Anderson and Tanner Roark failed to turn in quality outings and took losses even though neither was a total disaster.  Hopefully, my picks for today can be a little more consistent.

If you want to discuss your fantasy baseball streaming pitchers, other waiver wire pickups, offer alternative options, or let me know how our fantasy baseball coverage can be more of a help to you, find me throughout the day @FansidedFantasy on Twitter. In the coming weeks as the NBA playoffs start to slow down, we’ll be able to expand our daily league fantasy baseball coverage, so stay tuned.

With 30 probable pitchers taking the mound today, here are the ones you should target in your search for fantasy baseball streaming pitchers:
