Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 2
Pablo Lopez, Miami Marlins
Start: April 11th at Cincinnati Reds
ESPN ownership: 5.9%
Pablo Lopez has perhaps the lowest profile of any of the upstart Miami Marlins rotation members, but his underlying numbers might be the most impressive. Check out that 24.5% strikeout-minus-walk rate over his first two starts, complete with a changeup that's coaxed a 68% reach rate and 35.1% swinging strikes over 37 offerings.
The 23-year-old righty is looking to edge his bloated 6.10 ERA closer to his 3.72 FIP, and what better way to pad his stats than to draw a Cincinnati team that has been floundering out of the gate in 2019. Even the Reds' normally threatening home ballpark hasn't done them much good, with Cincinnati limping to a .501 team OPS across 172 plate appearances at The Great American Ball Park.
