The Streamer Report provides you with daily startng pitcher streaming selections for owners who prefer to stream starting pitchers on a daily basis. This report identifies starting pitchers who are owned in less than 50% of ESPN Yahoo leagues, and who either has a decent track record vs their opponent, has pitched well of late, or has a decent matchup.
Before I get into the streamers for Thursday's games, let's take a look at how my picks fared on Tuesday.

Thursday's Streamers
The schedule is light on Thursday with many ace, or near ace, starters on the bump, so here are my streamer selections:
Jose Quintana vs Royals
Quintana is owned in just 9.4% of ESPN leagues and faces the Royals at pitcher-friendly Kaufmann Stadium on Thursday night. Quintana has pitched well this season, owning a mid 3's ERA and a 1,25 WHIP in his 25 starts. He has given up 3 runs of less in eight of his last ten starts, and in 18 of his 25 starts this season.
Joe Kelly vs Braves
Kelly is owned in 13.5% of ESPN leagues and faces a tough Braves lineup on Thursday evening. He has made 8 starts this season (with 9 appearances of at least 5 innings), and has pitched very well in 7 of those 9 appearances, giving up one earned run or less in 7 of those 9 appearances.
