After a couple of rough weeks, we bounced back big time last week. Pretty much every one of our streamers performed up to expectations, aside from Jake Arrieta. Just saying that annoys me, but we knew that the two-start guys were risky going in. In any case, we’re satisfied with the results, and we’re going to trust the process by abusing terrible lineups like the Pirates, Tigers, Orioles, Rockies, and Rangers. Those teams have been featured heavily in this article all year, and you better believe we’re going to keep exploiting them. There’s a lot to discuss, though, so let’s go back to the well with the Ski-Ball man himself!

I have never had a more difficult time finding two-start streamers than I had this week. That’s actually why we’re going to start with the one-start guys because those are obviously the more reliable options. I’d go as far as to say that I wouldn’t even use these two-start streamers unless you’re desperate or if you’re in a deep league. That’s just the nature of the beast, though, and it should leave us with some more extensive weeks down the line. With all that said, I do love these one-start streamers, so let’s get into it!
Please, blog, may I have some more?We mentioned that last week’s streamers could be tough sailing, and it ended up proving to be that way. While they weren’t terrible, it was certainly one of my worst weeks of the year. That has me motivated to bounce back here, and I feel like we have a great group of streamers for this week. There are also some major discrepancies on different sites regarding ownership percentages, though, so be sure to check your waiver wires to make sure some gems aren’t sitting out there. We’ll actually include a couple of guys for shallower leagues in the consideration section because there are some studs sitting out there in way too many leagues. With that in mind, let’s talk about this week!
Please, blog, may I have some more?We have been cruising all season, but this week could be some rough waves. This is easily the worst group of streamers we’ve had all year, but we’re going to trust the process and gamble on some good results. A good sign for our articles is that many of our past recommendations have finally reached the ownership threshold regarding streamer-eligible players. That means we’ve stumbled into some pretty good gems, so hopefully, some of these guys are on the same boat. With that in mind, let’s get into it!
Please, blog, may I have some more?All five streamers performed admirably last week! That’s been the case throughout the year, though, and I’m ready to keep riding the wave here. With that said, the one-start streamers are much more trustworthy than the two-start guys this week, so don’t be afraid to ride those pitchers harder this week. Haha, that sounds funny, but you know what I mean.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t nervous about last week’s streamers when I wrote that article. Luckily, it ended up being a terrific week for us, with all of our recommendations pitching well. JT Brubaker, Luis Garcia, Yusei Kikuchi, Taijuan Walker, and Adbert Alzolay led the way, making it one of my best pieces of the year! That has us riding the wave at a rapid speed, having just one poor week through the first six weeks of the season. There’s a lot I like this week, too, so let’s go ahead and get into it!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 5 wasn’t as good as Week 4, but I’m far from disappointed. The only real blunder was Jakob Junis, and he didn’t even start! He was strangely removed from the rotation and proceeded to get blown up in a bullpen role. That means you guys probably didn’t stream him anyway, which means we’ll take the win! The rest of the streamers picked up numerous quality starts, and I’m very pleased with how risky many of those picks looked. I feel way more confident about these streamers, though, so let’s go ahead and start riding the wave!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 3 sucked, but we bounced back big time in Week 4. We got gems from Alex Wood, Domingo German, Jakob Junis, Jose Urquidy, Christian Javier, Dylan Cease, Patrick Corbin, and Huascar Ynoa. The only guy who didn’t pitch well was Luke Weaver, and it’s not like he blew up your week. That has me excited to keep things rolling, but this week scares me. All of the streamers in this week’s article carry a ton of risk, and it certainly won’t be smooth sailing. We need to steady the boat, though, and ride those waves to another successful streamers week!
Please, blog, may I have some more?After going off in the first two weeks, Week 3 was extremely annoying. The weather just obliterated all of the rotations, and it didn’t even seem like most of my streamers faced their projected matchups. We discussed how Mother Nature could do cruel things, and she was downright evil to us last week. In any case, we still got a few solid performances, but I expect better from myself. That has me motivated to have a huge week here, and I can’t wait to get these streamers out there. With that in mind, let’s get into our streamers of the week!
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was a little worried about how last week would go, but I’m very pleased with the results. None of our streamers got blown up, and the two-start streamers looked brilliant in their first start of the week. We also got gems from Steven Matz and Cole Irvin, rounding out a really good week. That has me geared up and ready to go because we’re in full-on grind mode now. One thing to keep an eye on is the weather, though. Mother Nature has been cruel to my streamers articles in the past, and like most women, she’s going to continue to be persistent. The snow and rain wreaked havoc last week, so let’s pray for clear skies this week! With that in mind, let’s get into it!
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m very pleased with how Week 1 went down! Five of our six streamers looked great going into Sunday, and the only one that didn’t pitch well had their matchup changed on us! What kind of crap is that? Anyway, this week is a bit tougher than the last. Most of the two-start guys are owned in every league, and it’s going to force us to make a couple of risky picks. That means it might be a better week to ride the one-start streamers instead, but if your feeling ballsy, let’s ride the wave with Wade!
Please, blog, may I have some more?How awesome is it that baseball is back? I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back and providing some streamers again this year after that whack-a-doodle 2020 season. The first few days of baseball were absolutely fantastic, and I’m ready to hook you guys up for the rest of the season. The first week tends to be light in terms of streamers, but this one is different. I love some of the options out there, so let’s go ahead and get into it!
