The Streamer Report provides you with daily streaming starting pitcher selections for the fantasy owner who likes to stream starting pitchers in leagues with no innings cap. The report will identify starting pitchers who are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, and who either have a decent track record vs their opponent, has pitched well of late, or has a good matchup.

Before I get to this weekend's streamer selections, let's take a look at how Thursday's streamers performed:

Kevin Gausman vs Boston - 5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K

Kevin Correia vs Phillies - 5 IP, 8 H, ER, BB, 6 K

Combined stats: 10.1 IP, 14 H, 3 ER, BB, 11 K, 2.61 ERA, 1.45 WHIP
