Streamer Report: Thursday's Streaming Pitcher Options

Ray highlights some starting pitcher options that you should consider streaming on Thursday, including Travis Wood, Jenrry Mejia and Michael Pineda.

Elsa

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 leagues, and who either has a decent track record vs their opponent, has pitched well of late, or has a decent matchup.

Thursday's Streamers

Travis Wood, Cubs vs Pirates

Wood is owned in 4.9% of leagues right now, and faces the Pirates who are struggling to score runs thus far. Last season, Wood went 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts vs the Pirates.

Jenrry Mejia, Mets vs Braves

Mejia is owned in just over 1% of leagues for some reason, but should be owned in more. He gets to face the Braves who rank 29th in runs scored and have struck out 57 times in six games thus far.

Michael Pineda, Yankees vs Red Sox

Pineda is owned in 27.1% of leagues and will be looking to build on his first start in two years in week one. Pineda gave up just one run on five hits, no walks and five strikeouts vs the Blue Jays last week.

Weekly Streamer Performance

I will be providing a status of how my picks have performed over the course of the season, and below you can find how my picks fared this week. I have had some very good picks mixed in with some very bad picks. Things will get better as pitchers catch up to the hitters over the next few weeks.
