Fantasy Baseball: 4 Pitchers to Stream in Week 5
A rejuvenated Tyson Ross is off to a nice start, and he has a soft matchup against the middling San Francisco Giants this week. Which other promising hurlers might you find on your waiver wire in Week 5?

Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox

Starts: April 30th vs. Kansas City Royals, May 5th at Texas Rangers
ESPN percentage owned: 50.1%

Despite a late start to 2018, Boston Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez has done well to build on his promising -- albeit injury-shortened -- 2017 campaign. The fourth-year southpaw has ticked the win column in three of his four starts, certifying a strong 3.63 ERA with a respectable 3.93 fielding independent pitching (FIP) and an excellent 24.5% strikeout rate.

This will likely be the last chance for streamers to add E-Rod on the cheap, as the young lefty figures to post some big numbers in a two-start week in Week 5. Kansas City and Texas are bottom-six MLB squads in terms of team isolated slugging, so E-Rod's outsized 11.5% home-per-fly this season, though a minor red flag, shouldn't stop streamers from adding the young lefty wherever he's available.
