Ray highlights some starting pitcher options that you should consider streaming on Saturday.
The Streamer Report provides you with daily startng pitcher streaming selections for owners who prefer to stream starting pitchers on a daily basis. This report identifies starting pitchers who are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, and who either has a decent track record vs their opponent, has pitched well of late, or has a decent matchup.
Saturday's Streamers
Dillon Gee, NYM vs Reds
Gee is owned in 34.4% of ESPN leagues and is looking to improve upon his Opening Day start where he gave up 4 runs on 4 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Gee has made just one start vs the Reds in his career with a 4.50 ERA.
Michael Pineda, NYY vs Blue Jays
Pineda had a surprisingly solid spring, so I am going to roll with him on Saturday on the road vs the Blue Jays. This is his first real start in two years, and I think he will have a successful return. He is owned in 26.2% of ESPN leagues at the moment.
Tyler Skaggs, LAA vs Astros
Like Pineda, Skaggs had a solid spring, and I think he can pitch well enough against an Astros team that will struggle to score runs this season. Skaggs is owned in less than 1% of ESPN leagues at the moment, and i think that could change after this start.

I will be providing a status of how my picks have performed over the course of the season, and below you can find how bad my picks fared this week. I am struggling out of the gate, but the same thing happened last year at this time and things turned around as the season went along.
