Pitchers to Stream

Jameson Taillon is our first pitcher to stream this week. With Justin Steele being out for the year with his elbow injury, Taillon has the spotlight to step in and fill his shoes. His first start of the year ended badly, where he gave up six runs and nine hits in just 4.1 innings, but since then he has been extremely solid on the mound. Taillon is only rostered in 6.7% of leagues, so you'll have a high chance of picking him up.

The second pitcher you should stream for today is Landon Roupp. He is another guy who has been really good so far this season, and is getting little to no coverage about it. In his last start against the Reds, Roupp threw seven innings and only gave up one run, white striking out four in the process. Overall Roupp has been good so far this season, and is only rostered in 5.1% of leagues, so consider streaming him for today.

The third and final pitcher to stream for today is Grant Holmes. Holmes has been up and down this season, but his last outing was pretty solid. He threw for four innings and only gave up three hits and no runs, while striking out six. Holmes is not typically going to throw for 5+ innings, because he is a starting pitcher as well as relief. Today is a great day to stream him against the Blue Jays, and also he is only rostered in 7.1% of leagues

Matchups to Look Out For

Paul Skenes is on the mound today against the Nationals today, which means you should bench all of your Nationals players. Since CJ Abrams is hurt, the only Nationals players you would have on your roster would be Keibert Ruiz, James Wood or Nathaniel Lowe. When Skenes is on the mound, you should just look at the players you have going against him, and just bench them all because it's a guarantee they are striking out one or two times that game.

The second matchup to look out for is Carlos Carrasco against the Royals today. Stream or start all the Royals players you have, because they are going to go off today. The Royals are one of the best hitting teams in baseball at the moment, and Carlos Carrasco's last start, he gave up three home runs to the Tigers.
