Fantasy Baseball H2H Streamers – Week 3: Noah, Guide Us

The opening week is always difficult, and that was definitely the case for my streamers. All of the results weren’t terrible, but I was disappointed with that opening article. That means I need to make some adjustments, but I’ve been doing that since I started playing fantasy baseball nearly 20 years ago. I feel really good about this week’s pitching streamers, so let’s look at the favorable matchups and then dive into those arms!

Favorable Team Matchups

7 Games

Chicago White Sox (vs. BAL, at KC)

Cincinnati Reds (at MIA, vs. LAA)

Detroit Tigers (at MIN, vs. MIA)

Kansas City Royals (at CLE, vs. CWS)

San Diego Padres (at PIT, vs. COL)

6 Games

Atlanta Braves (at LAA, vs. CLE)

Houston Astros (at COL, at SEA)

New York Mets (vs. ARI, vs. ATH)

New York Yankees (vs. ATH, at TB)

Pitching Streamers

Noah Cameron, KC (at CLE, vs. CWS)

Since this is published on Easter, we have to include at least one religious pun. We’re going to trust Noah to lead us to the promised land this week as one of our streamers because he has two fantastic matchups. One of the strangest things about Cameron is that he went undrafted in shallow leagues despite a strong 2025 season, sporting a 2.99 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 24 starts. Some thought that was fluky, but Cameron allowed just one run and five baserunners across five innings in his debut this year.

That already makes him an easy option as one of our streamers, but two easy matchups make him a must-roster player. Cleveland was 29th in OBP and dead-last in xwOBA last season, while Chicago sat 27th in wOBA and xwOBA. He actually shut down those two teams four times last season, surrendering just two runs and six baserunners or fewer in three of them.

Streamonator Valuation: $-20.3

Seth Lugo, KC (vs. CWS)

It’s hard to believe we have two KC pitchers in here, but the fantasy community is clearly sleeping on this rotation. Much like Cameron, Lugo has looked great at times in the past. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA and 1.15 WHIP since 2018. That’s 834 innings of solid pitching, and we saw him total a 3.09 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in his first season with KC just two years ago. That sort of success is amazing from one of your streamers, but this is one of the best matchups in baseball. The White Sox were bottom five in runs scored, OBP and wOBA last season while possessing one of the worst lineups around. Lugo has shown his fantastic form against them, allowing two runs or fewer in five straight starts, while registering a 1.32 ERA in those starts.

Streamonator Valuation: $16.5

Reynaldo Lopez, ATL (at LAA)

It’s easy to see why people forgot about Lopez since he only made one start last season, but this guy was quietly breaking out before that. He was a must-roster player in his first season in Atlanta, amassing a 1.99 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 25 starts. That sub-2.00 ERA is hard to believe, but it should force fantasy managers to roster him until we see something different. We certainly haven’t seen anything different so far this season, with Lopez accruing a 1.64 ERA and 0.91 WHIP through two starts. It’s not like the matchup with LA worries us, with the Angels ranked 28th in xwOBA and dead-last in K rate last season, while flirting with a 30 percent K rate this year.

Streamonator Valuation: $36.3

Randy Vasquez, SD (vs. COL)

Trying to make assumptions based on velocity is a risky proposition for fantasy managers, but the bump for Vasquez is clearly paying dividends. The right-hander saw his velocity bump during spring training, tallying a 1.04 WHIP during an impressive preseason run. He also closed the 2025 season with a 3.83 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across the final three months. It’s clear Vasquez has found something because all of that culminated with six scoreless innings in his 2026 debut.

The best part about this is that Vasquez gets a home matchup with Colorado. The Rockies have been the worst road offense in baseball for years, and they’ll likely make Vasquez a -250 favorite in this stupendous spot. All of that makes Vasquez an easy option as one of our streamers, but we also love that he threw a quality start in all three matchups with Colorado last season, despite two of those happening in Coors Field.

Streamonator Valuation: $19.5

Matthew Liberatore, STL (at WAS)

I was surprised to see Liberatore earn an Opening Day start for the Cardinals, but they clearly trust this guy. It’s easy to see why with how he’s pitched so far this season, allowing just one run in each of his two starts en route to a 1.64 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. He did that damage against teams like the Rays and Mets, but the Nationals are nowhere near those offenses in terms of talent. Washington was 24th in wOBA and 25th in OBP last season. It’s also a team you want to use lefty arms against because their four best bats all hit from the left side (Daylen Lile, James Wood, CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia).

Streamonator Valuation: $-12.6

Hitting Streamers

Carlos Correa, HOU (at COL, at SEA)

Correa was a fantasy asset in his time with Houston earlier in his career, but he’s fallen out of favor over recent years. What’s surprising about that is that Correa continues to produce. We’re talking about a guy who has a .275 AVG, .352 OBP and .811 OPS. He also had a .388 OBP and .905 OPS in his final full season with Minnesota in 2024, so the talent is still there. We’ve seen glimpses of that in the opening week, with Correa compiling a .296 AVG, .367 OBP and .811 OPS through seven games. That’s why this former All-Star is hitting cleanup for this dangerous Houston lineup, and he could be in for a big week since half of the games this week are at Coors Field against the worst pitching staff in baseball.

Miguel Vargas, CWS (vs. BAL, at KC)

Dare I say that Vargas has been an underrated fantasy asset since joining the ChiSox? Many players go overlooked when they join an offense like this, but he’s been their best bat since being acquired from LA. The corner infielder has been hitting between first and fifth all season and did that last year as well. He earned that when he closed last season with a .354 OBP and .791 OPS over the final two months. That’s the same player we’ve seen in the opening weeks, with Vargas amassing a .348 OBP and .822 OPS. The reason we trust him as one of our streamers this week is the schedule. Not only does he have seven games, but he faces two weak pitching staffs. The Royals were 15th in xwOBA last season, while the Orioles were 25th in wOBA.

SAGNOF (Saves/Steals Ain’t Got No Face)

Steals Specialists

David Hamilton (MIL)

Hamilton was a SAGNOF specialist the last two seasons in a bench role, swiping 55 steals with Boston. He’s playing nearly every day in Milwaukee and has four steals so far this year, despite struggling to get on base.

Jake McCarthy (COL)

I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of this before the season, but McCarthy is a sneaky bet for 40 steals. He’s the everyday leadoff hitter for the Rockies and has four steals through six games, despite hitting below .200. He had at least 23 steals in three straight seasons before an injury-riddled 2025 season.

Saves Specialists

Lucas Erceg (KC)

With Carlos Estevez on the IL, Erceg is the best bet for saves. He had 14 saves just two years ago and picked up the last two since the Estevez injury.

Jordan Romano (LAA)

It’s bizarre to see Romano below 50 percent rostership because he’s the closer in LA. He was an elite closer with Toronto a few years ago and has the first two saves for the Angels this season.
