Fantasy baseball streaming pitchers: April 29, 2016

1. Carlos Rodon-Chicago White Sox (49.4%)

If someone in your league was to fast to rush to drop Rodon, he makes a great pickup going forward and is undervalued on some DFS sites after a horrific start agains the Angels back on April 18.  In that outing, Rodon gave up five runs on six hits while recording a grand total of one out. The loss dropped him to 1-2 on the year, but aside from that outing he has actually been pretty good.

Rodon was the No. 3 pick in the 2014 amateur draft so he’s got the pedigree to be a top-of-the-rotation pitcher and he has been good enough in his other three outings to see him trending that way this season.  He has turned in a quality start in each of those three appearances allowing a total of four runs in 19.9 innings.  He has also picked up at least six strikeouts in each of those starts.

On Saturday, Rodon bounced back from that bad outing with one of his best of the season allowing just two hits in 6.2 innings to the Rangers and striking out seven.  He will look to continue his momentum tonight as the White Sox look to continue their sizzling start in Baltimore against the Orioles.  Rodon is the top option in my fantasy baseball streaming pitchers for tonight, so add him to your team if you can for this evening.
