Starting Pitchers for Friday

Pitchers are ranked based on their projected fantasy points (FPTS) using ESPN's standard scoring system. Key metrics include handedness (T), opposing team (OPP), roster percentage (RST%), and ESPN BET Money Line (ML). Here’s a breakdown of the top pitchers:

• Tarik Skubal (L) vs LAA: 14.6 FPTS, 63% win probability, 6.0 IP, 2.2 ER, 6.9 K
• Nick Pivetta (R) vs BOS: 13.4 FPTS, 66% win probability, 5.6 IP, 1.9 ER, 6.1 K
• Matthew Boyd (L) @ STL: 12.4 FPTS, 64% win probability, 5.7 IP, 1.9 ER, 5.3 K

Pitchers to Stream on Friday

Edward Cabrera has been a standout since May 20, boasting a 2.06 ERA and 3.36 xFIP. Facing the Braves, who are missing key hitters, Cabrera is a top streaming option. Chase Burns also presents value against the Pirates, who average the fewest runs per game.

Pitchers to Avoid on Friday

Kodai Senga has struggled post-break with an 8.25 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. A matchup with the Brewers, who are averaging the second-most runs per game, makes him a risky play.

Hitters to Stream on Friday

With Kai-Wei Teng on the mound for the Giants, Nationals hitters like Luis Garcia Jr. and Josh Bell are strong streaming options. The Giants' bullpen has been inconsistent, further boosting the Nationals' potential.
