​Reynaldo Lopez, Chicago White Sox

Starts: September 3rd vs. Detroit Tigers, September 9th vs. Los Angeles Angels
ESPN ownership: 14.0%

The American League Central remains a streamer's delight this week, with Reynaldo Lopez making his first of two starts against a Tigers team that ranked dead last in the AL in team OBP this past month.

The Angels have much more on-paper talent than the Tigers, but their results against righties of late haven't been particularly impressive. Los Angeles carries a middling .717 group OPS against right-handers in August, with an ugly 18.2% strikeout-minus-walk rate.

Lopez himself is no great shakes (4.51 ERA, 5.03 FIP in 155.2 innings), but with these matchups, the White Sox' righty certainly makes for respectable streaming fodder in deeper leagues.
