Starting Pitchers for Sunday
Pitchers are ranked based on their projected fantasy points (FPTS) using ESPN's standard scoring system. Here are the top pitchers for Sunday:
- Tarik Skubal (L) vs CLE: 15.6 FPTS, 69% Win Probability, 6.2 IP, 1.9 ER, 6.4 K
- Luis Castillo (R) @ HOU: 13.6 FPTS, 59% Win Probability, 6.1 IP, 2.1 ER, 6.2 K
- Kodai Senga (R) vs LAD: 13.2 FPTS, 61% Win Probability, 5.8 IP, 1.9 ER, 6.3 K
Pitchers to Stream on Sunday
- Logan Henderson (R) @ PIT: The rookie has been impressive with 23 strikeouts in 16 innings. Facing the Pirates, who average the second fewest runs per game, Henderson is a strong streaming option.
- Ryan Pepiot (R) vs TOR: With six quality starts in 10 outings, Pepiot is a reliable choice against the Blue Jays, who have a low wOBA against righties.
- Ben Brown (R) @ CIN: For those needing strikeouts, Brown’s upside against a swing-and-miss Reds lineup is worth considering.
Pitchers to Avoid on Sunday
- Nick Lodolo (L) vs CHC: Despite being rostered in over half of ESPN leagues, Lodolo faces a Cubs lineup that strikes out well below league average. The risk outweighs the reward.
Hitters to Stream on Sunday
- Los Angeles Angels vs Edward Cabrera (R): The Angels are averaging the second-most runs in May. Facing Cabrera and a subpar Marlins bullpen, players like Taylor Ward and Jorge Soler are poised for success.
- Detroit Tigers vs Logan Allen (L): With Allen’s reverse splits, right-handed batters like Gleyber Torres and Javier Baez are in a good spot to produce.
