What about Jake Westbrook v CHC or Jeff Francis @ SD? They're both mediocre pitchers, but those match-ups sure are juicy. The Friday and Saturday streaming pools are pretty dry.
Give me a sec to get back to you on Westbrook. Not a big fan of his, but I'll run the numbers. As for Francis, I posted him on here a couple days ago. Here's what I wrote:
Fred, wanted to bounce this possible streamer. What do you think?
Jeff Francis (yuck, I know, but bare with)
Opponent: 7/21 @SD
29th in home OPS
29th in OPS v LHP,
Pitcher:
29.2% O-Swing
6 IP 0 ER (3 H, 1 BB, 1 K) v. SD this year.
Historically struggled at PETCO (5+ ERA) and against SD.
Wind blowing toward RF foul line at 10 mph.
FIP 3.72, 4.41 SIERA
Hasn't gone more than six innings all year, but has given up 3 ER (@WAS) once in last seven starts.
BONUS: SD is 30th in OPS on Saturdays
Full disclosure: Fred wasn't feeling him. Felt that his history @ PetCo and pre-2012 match ups v. SD were too big to ignore.
