Fantasy Baseball: 5 Pitchers to Stream in Week 3
Anibal Sanchez has struggled against tough competition to start 2019, but he draws a favorable start at Marlins Park in Week 3. Which other starters are out there to help fantasy owners this week?

Jordan Lyles, Pittsburgh Pirates

Start: April 16th at Detroit Tigers
ESPN ownership: 5%

Jordan Lyles turned heads by striking out 10 Chicago Cubs across six innings last week, chiseling his season ERA down to 0.86 across 11 frames.

Well, to be fair, he didn't turn that many heads, as the Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander remains almost universally available in ESPN leagues.

Sure, his 100% strand rate and small-sample-slanted 28.6% strikeouts are bound to regress, but fantasy owners shouldn't totally fade Lyles. The 28-year-old soft-tosser would be useful in deep leagues even if he matched his 3.22 FIP, and a date with the paper thin Tigers lineup could find him overachieving for one more week.
