Teams to Target for Hitter Streamers
-
St. Louis Cardinals: The Cardinals have an ideal setup this week, ranking as the top team for hitters. They face weak pitching matchups, including favorable spots against Kyle Hendricks (SP 387) and Richard Fitts (SP 227). With four matchups against right-handed pitchers and two against lefties, Cardinals hitters across the board are poised for a productive week.
-
Arizona Diamondbacks: With favorable matchups against several middling starters such as Carlos Carrasco (SP 362), Trevor Williams (SP 184), and Mitchell Parker (SP 135), the Diamondbacks hitters should have ample opportunities to rack up counting stats. This could be an especially strong week for Arizona’s power bats against weaker competition in hitter-friendly environments.
-
Detroit Tigers: Detroit has quietly favorable pitching matchups, including three matchups against pitchers ranked 248 or worse. With only one challenging outing (Luis Castillo, SP 20), Detroit hitters may offer sneaky streaming value for fantasy managers needing offense.
-
Minnesota Twins: Minnesota’s hitters have enticing matchups against lower-tier pitchers like Martin Perez (SP 385) and Seth Burke (SP 209), while avoiding any truly elite pitchers. Five matchups against righties offer additional upside for Twins hitters who fare better against RHPs.
Teams to Avoid for Hitter Streamers
-
Los Angeles Dodgers: Dodgers hitters are facing an exceptionally tough slate, including matchups with ace-level arms like Chris Sale (SP 5), Tyler Glasnow (SP 8), Aaron Nola (SP 25), and Jesus Luzardo (SP 63). Even their easier matchups are only average at best, making Dodgers hitters risky starts this week.
-
Houston Astros: The Astros have a difficult week ahead, facing a series of strong right-handed pitchers including Logan Webb (SP 12), Joe Ryan (SP 26), and Bailey Ober (SP 34). Managers should temper expectations and consider alternatives, especially for fringe Astros hitters.
-
Tampa Bay Rays: Tampa Bay hitters face a brutal schedule highlighted by matchups with Jacob deGrom (SP 9), Paul Skenes (SP 3), and Mitch Keller (SP 79). With six matchups exclusively against righties and several against elite arms, Rays hitters could significantly underperform their season averages.
