Fantasy Baseball: 4 Pitchers to Stream in Week 5
Tyson Ross, San Diego Padres
Starts: May 1st at San Francisco Giants
ESPN percentage owned: 24.3%
There's nothing like a trip to Coors Field to take your league mates off the scent of a hot streamer. Tyson Ross got the expected whopping at the hands of the Colorado Rockies last week, boosting the righty's ERA to solid but unspectacular 3.64 and leaving him there for the taking on a touch more than 75% of ESPN waiver wires.
Ross' 3.08 FIP and 25.2% strikeout rate tell a different story, with the left-for-dead San Diego Padres' hurler appearing rejuvenated after two seasons of injury-ravaged futility. Streamers should be pouncing on Ross in Week 5 as he squares off against a Giants team with a lowly .137 team isolated slugging and outsized 24.5% team strikeout rate against righties on the young season.
