Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 14
Nathan Eovaldi, Tampa Bay Rays
Starts: June 2nd at Miami Marlins, June 8th at New York Mets
ESPN percentage owned: 22.0%
Coming off an out-of-nowhere nine-strikeout gem against the stacked Washington Nationals, Nathan Eovaldi is a prime two-start streamer for Week 14. Granted, his overall numbers aren't exactly sparkling: the Tampa Bay Rays' righty carries an unremarkable 4.08 ERA and 4.84 FIP in 35.1 innings.
That said, the journeyman draws a Mets team that just compiled a .638 group OPS in June, to say nothing of a Marlins squad whose modest recent surge has come despite a poor .138 team ISO in their spacious home ballpark.
Given his limited track record of consistent production, Eovaldi's 20.5% home-per-fly rate seems as much cause for alarm as it does sign of impending regression. Whatever the case, he's got the matchups to make him a must-add in deep leagues for Week 14.
