- Yankees starter Michael Pineda was dominant in his start against the Rays. He went 7.2 innings allowing just 2 hits and 1 run. He struck out 11 and did not issue a walk. Pineda took a perfect game into the 7th but lost it on a Evan Longoria double with 2 outs. Pineda posted a 4.82ERA last season but struck out 10.6 batters per nine. His next outing will be at home to the Cardinals but which version of Michael Pineda will fantasy owners see?
- Jharel Cotton led his team to a 2-0 victory over the Royals. The Athletics starter pitched 7 innings of 2 hit ball while striking out 6. Cotton is a solid streaming option but the Royals appear to be early favorites to stream pitchers against. The team is averaging just 3 runs per game.
- Matt Moore got the best of the Diamondbacks in an early rematch on Monday. Moore threw 8 innings, gave up just 1 run, and struck out 5. AT&T park has been friendly to Moore since he became a member of the Giants. His next outing will be at home against the Rockies.
