Ultimate MLB Fantasy Baseball & Betting Guide: Sunday's Top Picks and Strategies

Get expert advice on setting your MLB fantasy baseball lineups and placing bets for Sunday's games. Discover top pitchers, hitters, and betting strategies.

Starting Pitchers for Sunday

Pitchers are ranked based on their projected fantasy points (FPTS) using ESPN's standard scoring system. Here are the top pitchers for Sunday:

  • Tarik Skubal (L) vs CLE: 15.6 FPTS, 69% Win Probability, 6.2 IP, 1.9 ER, 6.4 K
  • Luis Castillo (R) @ HOU: 13.6 FPTS, 59% Win Probability, 6.1 IP, 2.1 ER, 6.2 K
  • Kodai Senga (R) vs LAD: 13.2 FPTS, 61% Win Probability, 5.8 IP, 1.9 ER, 6.3 K

Pitchers to Stream on Sunday

  • Logan Henderson (R) @ PIT: The rookie has been impressive with 23 strikeouts in 16 innings. Facing the Pirates, who average the second fewest runs per game, Henderson is a strong streaming option.
  • Ryan Pepiot (R) vs TOR: With six quality starts in 10 outings, Pepiot is a reliable choice against the Blue Jays, who have a low wOBA against righties.
  • Ben Brown (R) @ CIN: For those needing strikeouts, Brown’s upside against a swing-and-miss Reds lineup is worth considering.

Pitchers to Avoid on Sunday

  • Nick Lodolo (L) vs CHC: Despite being rostered in over half of ESPN leagues, Lodolo faces a Cubs lineup that strikes out well below league average. The risk outweighs the reward.

Hitters to Stream on Sunday

  • Los Angeles Angels vs Edward Cabrera (R): The Angels are averaging the second-most runs in May. Facing Cabrera and a subpar Marlins bullpen, players like Taylor Ward and Jorge Soler are poised for success.
  • Detroit Tigers vs Logan Allen (L): With Allen’s reverse splits, right-handed batters like Gleyber Torres and Javier Baez are in a good spot to produce.
