Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 8
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland looks to add to the Dodgers' woes against lefties. Which other widely available arms can fantasy owners lean on in Week 8?

Kyle Freeland, Colorado Rockies

Start: May 23rd at Los Angeles Dodgers
ESPN percentage owned: 36.7%

The Colorado Rockies cloud must be what's keeping Kyle Freeland at the margins of standard-league ownership, because the sophomore is showing notable walk rate improvement and vast strikeout rate gains, good enough for a 3.17 ERA and 3.77 FIP over 54 innings.

There's might also be a certain overblown aura to the Los Angeles Dodgers' offense, who were a clear stay-away from for streamers while posting a top-four team isolated slugging (ISO) last season but who have yet to replicate that power production in 2018. That's especially true when facing lefties, who have limited the Dodgers to a well-below-average .132 group ISO. This is a low-key enticing matchup for Freeland, who should be firmly on the streaming radar in all leagues.
