Pitchers to Stream on Monday
Clarke Schmidt is set for a big strikeout game as the New York Yankees host the Los Angeles Angels. Schmidt has struck out 27 batters over his last 22 1/3 innings.
Mick Abel is in a great spot to rebound as the Philadelphia Phillies visit the Miami Marlins. Despite a rough last outing, Abel has shown promise.
Ryan Pepiot has been consistent, yielding three or fewer runs in 13 of his 14 starts. He faces the Baltimore Orioles, who have the ninth lowest road wOBA against right-handers.
Pitchers to Avoid on Monday
Sandy Alcantara has had encouraging starts against weaker teams, but facing the Philadelphia Phillies is a risky bet early in the fantasy week.
Hitters to Stream on Monday
The Los Angeles Dodgers are sending Matt Sauer to the mound. Despite a seemingly impressive ERA, underlying metrics suggest regression. Gavin Sheets and Jake Cronenworth are solid additions to your fantasy lineup.
