Pitchers to Stream on Friday

Matthew Boyd (CHC): Boyd has six quality starts in nine outings, including his last three. Over 18 innings, he fanned 23 without issuing any free passes.
Griffin Canning (NYM): Despite facing the Dodgers, Canning is a viable option due to the favorable pitching conditions at Citi Field.

Pitchers to Avoid on Friday

Hunter Greene (CIN): Greene is returning from a groin injury and will likely be on a pitch count, making him a risky start against the potent Cubs offense.
Tyler Mahle (TEX): While Mahle has a strong ERA and WHIP, his underlying metrics suggest he’s overperforming.

Hitters to Stream on Friday

Aaron Judge (NYY): Judge will play at Coors Field for the first time, making him a must-start.
Cody Bellinger (NYY): Bellinger is another Yankee bat that should be active for this series.
