Major League Baseball  has a loaded 13-game slate for this Thursday, April 21 with at least one game likely to be in action from 12:10 ET this afternoon through midnight Eastern.  There are seven games scheduled for this afternoon with six more under the lights tonight. Whether you are in search of a streaming option for your season-long league or a cheap DFS play in either window today, check out my top 5 fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for this Thursday on the following slides.

Each of the pitchers highlighted in the following slides is expected to take the mound either this afternoon or this evening, and as of this morning, they are available in over 50% of ESPN leagues.  Each morning, you can find these “best available” starting pitchers 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 five picks had things go their way for the most part going a combined 3-0 with two no-decisions. As a group they threw 32 innings allowing 14 runs (3.94 ERA) and striking out a solid 32 batters for an average of one per inning.  The best outing probably came from Kendall Graveman (pictured above) who allowed just three hits and one run to the Yankees while striking out eight.

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 so much baseball coming our way today, there are lots of ways to enjoy the action, and if you  are searching for a value starting pitching add check out my top 5 fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for this Thursday, April 21:
