Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream for Week 21
Resurgent Diamondbacks lefty Patrick Corbin is poised to continue his recent hot streak with a pair of strong matchups that should make him a prime target for pitching streamers in Week 21.

Jose Urena, Miami Marlins

Starts: August 22nd at Philadelphia Phillies, August 27th vs. San Diego Padres
ESPN ownership: 31 percent

Jose Urena's unglamarous 15.9% strikeout rate won't raise too many eyebrows in fantasy circles, and the gap between his 2.80 ERA and 4.18 FIP over the last month might have prospective streamers running in the other direction, but you can't buy a more attractive two-start slate than the one this Miami Marlins righty has lined up for Week 21.

The Padres and Phillies have each been below-average offensive producers over the last month, with both teams occupying the top third in team whiff rate and the Phillies in particular proving notably undisciplined over that span.

Too bad the righty doesn't get a chance to tangle with San Diego at the spacious Petco Park, but the Marlins' cavernous home park is no slouch in the power-suppression department. Urena has certainly enjoyed the fruits of this home-field advantage in the second half, limiting opposing hitters to a .387 slugging percentage over his last 38.1 home innings.
