Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 12
Jhoulys Chacin has a good chance to extend his recent stretch of strong work thanks to a fantasy-friendly two-start week. Which other pitchers are lighting up the waiver wire in Week 12?

​Dereck Rodriguez, San Francisco Giants

Starts: June 19th vs. Miami Marlins, June 24th vs. San Diego Padres
ESPN percentage owned: 2.5%

The sample is small on San Francisco Giants youngster Dereck Rodriguez, and the results have thus far been mixed. His 66.2% strand rate and 3.89 FIP suggest that his 4.34 ERA in 18.2 innings could improve slightly. Yet his 18.4% strikeout rate and 24.2% line-drive rate don't exactly scream fantasy sleeper.

Still, we can't ignore how well Rodriguez is set up in Week 12, with home starts in the pitcher-friendly AT&T Park against two teams in the bottom three in terms of isolated power against righties over the last month. Deep leaguers in need have to be earmarking this Giants rookie, even if he's only a pure start-and-cut matchup play.
