Monday’s Pitchers to Stream
If you’re on the lookout for some **pitching gems**, look no further. Here’s a lineup of pitchers ready to shine this Sunday:
Chad Patrick has had a rocky few outings, but don’t let that fool you. He remains one of the top surprises of the season, keeping the Milwaukee Brewers competitive. Although his recent form shows an inflated 7.80 ERA over three starts, facing the Colorado Rockies at home might just be the perfect remedy!
Mitchell Parker showcased excellence earlier this season with a 1.39 ERA. However, things dipped before he turned things around with three quality outings recently. Watch out for his matchup against the high-strikeout Los Angeles Angels—this could be a high-reward play!
Jameson Taillon is your ace for this Sunday. As part of a strong Chicago Cubs lineup, he boasts a solid chance for a win. Take advantage of the Houston Astros lineup struggling more than expected this season!
Who to Avoid on the Mound
Sometimes, **the best strategy is knowing when to sit players**. Here are pitchers that might not deliver this Sunday:
Kris Bubic deserves a spot on your roster for most matchups, but tread carefully against the big-hitting New York Yankees. After giving up five runs in his last start against them, it’s wise to bench him as the Kansas City Royals take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Sunday’s Hitting Insights
Your hitters can make or break your fantasy team. Here are some players to target:
Jack Kochanowicz has struggled recently with a 6.68 ERA. However, his matchup at the Angels Stadium—known to favor left-handed batters—could amplify success. Look out for **Nathaniel Lowe**, **Luis Garcia**, and **Josh Bell** to capitalize on this opportunity.
Betting Tips for Strategic Plays
Expert insights on best and worst pitcher/hitter matchups and betting projections are powered by **THE BAT X**, a sophisticated system developed by Derek Carty. This tool combines advanced analytics typically used in MLB front offices, factoring in everything from player talent to environmental conditions.
Important: When evaluating bets, consider **Expected Value**, a metric that balances the chance of winning against the offered odds. A $1.00 bet with an Expected Value of $25 means you can expect a profit over time, even with losses along the way.
