1. Matt Moore-Tampa Bay Rays

The Yankees have been struggling offensively, so don’t let a trip to Yankee Stadium scare you off of grabbing Matt Moore tonight.  Moore is owned in just under half of ESPN leagues (47.5%), so he barely makes the cut-off for my fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for this Friday.

Moore is coming off a dominant start against the White Sox in which he punched out ten while allowing two runs on five hits in 6.1 innings for his first win of the season.  He lowered his ERA to a solid 2.95, but the reason I especially like him tonight is his 21 strikeouts in 18.1 innings pitched so far this season.

Moore has been derailed by injury in recent seasons, but he looks healthy and ready to return to his upward trajectory.  Tonight, he’ll take on CC Sabathia in a matchup he should be able to get a win in if the Rays keep hitting like they have been recently..
