Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 20
Reynaldo Lopez can salvage his shaky second half in a favorable two-start week against the Tigers and Royals. Which other pitchers should you stream?

Starts: August 13th at Detroit Tigers, August 19th vs. Kansas City Royals
ESPN ownership: 17.1%

You'll need to squint pretty hard to picture a time when Reynaldo Lopez looked like a must-add fantasy arm. The third-year Chicago White Sox's hurler compiled a 3.60 ERA in 30 June innings, only to post an apocalyptic 7.39 mark through 29 innings in July.

Two strong seven-inning outings in August may be giving owners whiplash, but it's safe to assume that Lopez's 6.3% strikeout-minus-walk rate will keep him firmly on the margins of fantasy consideration.

That said, a rather tempting two-start week is in the offing for Lopez. As we've established above, Detroit has been very weak on righties, while the Royals make for a perennial streamer target, posting group ISO of .136 against right-handers on the season.

Lopez has a capped ceiling and bottomless floor, but the matchups here should warrant a second look in deeper leagues.
