We’ve got a deep board to work with, adding 14 more names than last week’s 28. It’s not just a bunch of no-names, either, there are some real opportunities. There is definitely some risk, too, that’s always going to happen when you’re 2-start streaming, but at least it’s more than just a hope and a wish with the majority of the list.
2-start chart in the morning! (live now)

A lot of tough matchups for the streamer-worthy options could lead to some high scores on Friday night.

There isn’t a ton to choose from outside of the obvious starts. I’m struggling to even find some good YOLO options among the 0-x guys… hell, I’m not even SUPER confident in Wilson & Allen in their respective recommendation windows. Take it easy on Thursday!

OK Jonathan Cannon, I wasn’t familiar with your game! He came an out shy of the shutout v. HOU, allowing just 7 hits and a walk with 4 Ks. Pablo López now has to rally at OAK this weekend after 4 IP/5 ER v. TBR. Shockingly Aaron Civale didn’t allow any HRs, but it didn’t drive any success as he couldn’t finish 4 IP. I sold Bailey Falter a bit short after back-to-back 4 IP outings. I didn’t give him enough credit for the excellent May (2.23 ERA in 5 starts), especially with a good matchup at home. With modest Ks, he will always need the contact to find gloves, but he’s gaining some deep league streamer viability.

Some guys hoping to establish themselves as bankable starters (Irvin, Marsh, Myers, Harris) while others like Miller, King, and Steele are hoping to regain the full trust of fantasy managers.

Kind of a weird board this week. There’s a small handful of locked in studs, but the questions start as early as Hicks at 11 with his 1.46 WHIP since May 1st (0.91 in April).

Back in town a bit late after the Astros-Tigers game in Houston on Sunday, so I owe y’all a 2-start chart in the morning!

Tons of great options on Friday with a bunch of aces going and only three real sits. We’re playing it really cautiously with the Yankees right now so Bello’s sit!
