Fantasy Baseball 2019 Saturday June 1 Streaming Options

Here are three streaming pitcher options with good matchups that are worth a look if you are looking for a Fantasy Baseball pitching boost to end Week 9.

The end of Week 9 comes with some interesting division match-ups. There are a few aces taking the mound on Saturday, including Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom. On the other end of the spectrum are a bunch of end-of-the-rotation arms that no one wants to own. These are the best options for streaming on your fantasy baseball team.

When I look for a streamer, I focus on three things: recent pitching performances, the match-up, and opposing offense’s last seven games. The Fantasy Baseball ownership percentage is a given. For past performance, I want to see if they’re allowing a lot of walks or runs and what their strikeouts look like.

Obviously, the matchup is important. You don’t want to stream a pitcher against the Brewers, Twins or Yankees. Teams like Miami, Detroit and San Francisco are good streaming candidates. Also, the offenses’ production is key. Catching a team at the right moment could lead to Fantasy Baseball success.

You don’t want to stream against a team on a hot streak, even if they are bad overall. That streak could end at any moment but it could also continue. That’s why streaming is a risk for fantasy baseball owners.

These three pitchers have all three factors leaning in their favor and are worth streaming this week.

Erick Fedde, @CIN

Who? Exactly. With Anibal Sanchez dealing with a hamstring injury, Fedde takes over his rotation spot. He has back-to-back five-inning outings with a combined eight hits, four walks, five strikeouts and one earned run. Fedde also has a win.

The Reds offense has picked it up over the last week, scoring 51 runs with a .344 average. Most of that production, though, has come from Derek Dietrich and Nick Senzel. If Fedde can limit fly balls in a hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark, he’ll be able to secure another win.

Nick Margevicius, vs. MIA

Margevicius has had a rough couple of outings, allowing 14 runs in his last 14.2 innings. He hasn’t pitched higher than High-A so his early struggles weren’t surprising.

He gets the call to face the Marlins, and this could be a good get-right game. The Marlins are hitting .262 with 27 runs scored and five home runs over the last week.

Margevicius hasn’t pitched more than six innings in any of his starts, so a quality start may be tough to earn. But if the Padres offense can keep the power going, he should get a win.

Lance Lynn, vs. KC

Lynn has seen his ownership percentage rise in season-long leagues. He is 3-2 in his last five games with four quality starts. Facing the Mariners twice and the Royals in that span helps, but you have to beat who’s in front of you.

The Royals have some good hitters in the lineup, like Whit Merrifield, Adalberto Mondesí and Hunter Dozier. Though, over the last week, they have scored 33 runs with a .254 average, 16th and 22nd in the league, respectively.

Lynn gave up just one run over seven innings the last time he faced Kansas City. This time, the game is in Texas, a middle-of-the-road park in terms of Park Factors. Lynn has a 5.92 ERA at home compared to a 3.95 ERA on the road, but is 3-0 at Globe Life Park.

These three pitchers all have their imperfections but they are outweighed by the match-ups. The three offenses these pitchers face haven’t been the greatest and could be taken advantage of. Use these pitchers with your own risk.
