Fantasy Baseball H2H Streamers – Week 4: Lets Grab Some Burgers

I was really happy with how last week’s streamers panned out. It was nice to see some predictable results after a weird opening two weeks, and I feel like I’m finally back in the groove of things. What’s fascinating about streamers at this time of the season is understanding how to properly manage your roster. While streamers are critical for success, it’s also imperative not to overreact and drop someone that you might regret. That’s a tough balance to digest, but it’s something you all need to consider before diving into these streamers. With that in mind, let’s look at favorable match-ups for this week and then dive into this week’s streamers!

Favorable Team Matchups

7 Games

Athletics (vs. TEX, vs. CWS)

Cleveland Guardians (at STL, vs. BAL)

Houston Astros (vs. COL, vs. STL)

New York Yankees (vs. LAA, vs. KC)

Pittsburgh Pirates (vs. WAS, vs. TB)

Texas Rangers (at ATH, at SEA)

6 Games

Atlanta Braves (vs. MIA, at PHI)

Los Angeles Dodgers (vs. NYM, at COL)

Philadelphia Phillies (vs. CHC, vs. ATL)

San Francisco Giants (at CIN, at WAS)

Tampa Bay Rays (at CWS, at PIT)

Pitching Streamers

Grant Holmes, ATL (vs. MIA)

I wasn’t alive in the 70s and ’80s, but man, I would love it if every baseball player looked like this guy. Holmes has been pitching like one of those burly aces from back then, tallying a 2.55 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through three starts. He also had a 3.25 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 10.9 K/9 rate between April and July 6 of last season. His final three starts didn’t go as well, but Holmes was clearly dealing with an injury. Health has Holmes back on track, and we love this home matchup with Miami. While the Marlins have been a sneaky good offense this season, they simply don’t have the talent to worry us. Holmes threw 5.2 scoreless innings against them in their one matchup last season, and he’ll likely enter this matchup as a -150 favorite or higher.

Streamonator Valuation: $10.5

Spencer Arrighetti, HOU (vs. COL)

Arrighetti has always been in play as one of our streamers when given the opportunity, and it looks like he’ll start this week since Houston is switching to a six-man rotation. This right-hander feels like an easy option to fill that last slot because he’s got a 1.26 ERA and 0.77 WHIP while striking out 20 batters across 14.1 innings at Triple-A this season. That’s the form we saw from this guy at times in 2024, posting a 3.08 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 rate across his final 14 starts. An injury-riddled 2025 season has fantasy managers forgetting how talented Arrighetti can be, but this is a soft landing spot for him. The Rockies have been the worst road offense in baseball for a few years now, and it’ll likely have Arrighetti entering this matchup as a -200 favorite!

Streamonator Valuation: $NA

Mitch Keller, PIT (vs. WAS)

Keller has been one of our streamers numerous times since I started this piece, but he’s approaching must-roster territory. This right-hander has thrown three quality starts this season en route to a 1.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. We don’t expect him to maintain those absurd averages, but we’re talking about a veteran who has a 4.07 ERA and 1.29 WHIP since 2022. Those are nothing to get excited about, but it shows that Keller can be a worthy option as one of our streamers in a premier matchup. That’s just what we have here because Washington was 24th in OBP and 25th in OPS last season. We also don’t mind that Keller has better home splits in a pitcher-friendly park, posting a 3.58 ERA and 1.25 WHIP there over the last three years.

Streamonator Valuation: $10.9

Foster Griffin, WAS (at PIT)

This journeyman is finally getting a legitimate chance at the age of 30. We should all be so lucky, but Griffin has stepped up with this newfound role. Griffin was tasked with facing the Dodgers and Phillies through his first two starts, but he held those daunting lineups to a 2.70 ERA while posting a 9.9 K/9 rate. That’s an unbelievable start against two of the best lineups in baseball, so we have to believe he’ll keep that going against a team like the Pirates. Pittsburgh was dead-last in runs scored, OPS and xwOBA last season, despite playing better this year. This is a risky option for one of your streamers, but his 1.68 ERA in Japan last year indicates that he’s found something special.

Streamonator Valuation: $-8.7

Joey Cantillo, CLE (at STL, vs. BAL)

The Guardians always seem to stumble into these gems, and Cantillo is one of them. This craft lefty has allowed two runs or fewer in all three starts this year, providing a 2.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 12.3 K/9 rate. That’s less surprising since he closed last year with a 2.81 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10.0 K/9 rate over his final 17 outings. All of that makes him an easy option as a two-start streamer, especially when examining these matchups. Baltimore is the better of the two, with the Orioles ranked 21st in runs scored and 24th in K rate. St. Louis has been an average offense, but they were 23rd in xwOBA last year.

Streamonator Valuation: $-11.1

Hitting Streamers

Jake Burger, TEX (at ATH, at SEA)

Burger King has been making some serious changes recently, so it’s clearly motivated this Burger to step up his game. This first baseman had a nightmarish 2024-25 season due to some personal issues, but Texas gave him a sizable contract for a reason. He had 63 homers between 2023 and 2024, generating a .250 AVG, .488 SLG and .793 OPS. That’s why he was a must-roster player back then, but he’s returned to that this season. Burger has been the Rangers’ everyday cleanup hitter, compiling a .271 AVG and .779 OPS through 12 games. That’s awesome since he has seven games this week, and four of them are on the road against the A’s. That’s amazing since that’s one of the worst pitching staffs and one of the most hitter-friendly parks in MLB.

Max Muncy, ATH (vs. TEX, vs. CWS)

Muncy’s rostership percentages have been jumping all week, so this is likely the last time you can pick him up. One of the most interesting variables that’s overlooked is that Muncy is eligible at 2B, 3B and SS. That’s a sneaky lineup builder, but he couldn’t have a better week of scheduling. The A’s have seven games this week, and all of them are at home. That’ll likely make them the highest-projected team this week because that was the highest-scoring park in the AL last season. It’s not like these matchups are tough either, avoiding Jacob deGrom in the Rangers rotation and facing a Chicago team that’s 28th in ERA. We didn’t even discuss Muncy, who has a .319 AVG and .907 OPS so far this season.

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

Steals Specialists

Nasim Nunez (WAS)

Nunez has been a big surprise for the Nats, stealing seven bases across 10 games this season.

Luisangel Acuna (CWS)

Acuna was a major part of the Luis Robert trade, and he’s recorded four steals across his last 10 outings. He also had 180 steals throughout his minor league career, recording 40-plus steals three times.

Saves Specialists

Bryan Baker (TB)

The Rays have been looking for a closer in the absence of Pete Fairbanks, and Baker looks like the guy. He picked up the team’s first two saves and was featured in the ninth inning in a game where they had a four-run lead.

Jakob Junis (TEX)

Junis has two saves over his last two appearances and appears to have usurped Robert Garcia as the first option for saves in Texas.
