Major League Baseball has a big day lined up with all 30 teams in action throughout what should be an action-packed Saturday of hardball.  There are six games on tap for this afternoon and nine more under the lights tonight.  Whether you’re playing DFS in the afternoon or evening window or just looking for a boost for your season-long league check out my top 5 fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for this Saturday on the following slides.

More from Boston Red Sox

Each of the pitchers in this daily post is available in over 50% of ESPN leagues on the day they make the list and are scheduled to take the hill in a matchup in which I think they can find success.  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 top five picks went 3-1 with one no-decision allowing a total of 11 earned runs in 30.2 innings for a 3.09 ERA. They totaled 22 strikeouts in their outings while picking up a pair of quality starts.  My best pick of the night was Steven Wright (pictured above) who allowed just one unearned run while lowering his ERA to 1.40 and getting his first win of the season to move to 1-2.

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.

It’s going to be a big baseball Saturday, so get the starting pitching you need for fantasy baseball  by checking out my top 5 fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for this Saturday, April 23:
