Top Pitchers to Watch

  • Zack Wheeler (R) vs. TEX: With a 99.9% roster percentage and a projected 6.3 innings pitched, Wheeler is a solid choice for Sunday.
  • Dylan Cease (R) vs. BOS: Cease has a 92.1% roster percentage and is expected to pitch 5.8 innings with 2.1 earned runs allowed.
  • Bryan Woo (R) vs. TB: Woo, with a 94.4% roster percentage, is projected to pitch 5.7 innings with 2.0 earned runs allowed.

Hitters to Stream and Avoid

Hitters to Stream

  • Spencer Torkelson (DET): Facing Jack Kochanowicz, who has a high ERA, Torkelson is a strong option for Sunday.
  • Kerry Carpenter (DET): Another solid choice against Kochanowicz, Carpenter can help boost your hitting points.

Hitters to Avoid

  • Brayan Bello (BOS): Despite his effectiveness, Bello's strikeout rate is low, making him a less favorable option against the Padres.
