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.

Matt Moore, San Francisco Giants

Start: August 23rd vs. Milwaukee Brewers
ESPN ownership: 16 percent

That is not a misprint. No one's rushing to hitch their wagon to the fading star of San Francisco Giants lefty Matt Moore (he of the ugly 5.54 ERA and paltry 10.9% K-BB), but this week's matchup with the scuffling Brewers offense is just too good to pass up.

Indeed, the Brew Crew have had barely a drop to drink against lefties in the second half, scratching together the league's least-productive offense against southpaws by a wide margin. The 28.1% strikeout rate against lefties over that span is buoyed by a 31.4% chase rate overall, making Moore's tendency to get wild (12.5% walk rate on his four-seam fastball this season) a bit less of a liability.

Risk-averse streamers are rolling their eyes, but those with an appetite for danger could enjoy some serious strikeout upside.
