We're getting towards the end of the week and that means you may need a few extra points to get a win this week. One of the best ways to do this is by picking up a pitcher just for his start. If you have an extra start this week, or need a few more stats to pad those categories, check out these pitchers to stream.
Graham Ashcraft matches up against a struggling Phillies team on Sunday. Even with a few talented hitters in their lineup, Philly has had a tough time scoring runs so far this season. Ashcraft is rostered in only 19.7% of ESPN leagues and threw 7 innings of 1 run ball with 6 K's against the Pirates in his last start.
Mike Clevinger is rostered in 18% of ESPN leagues and has a decent matchup Saturday with a pirates team hitting just .211 on the season. The righty went 5 shutout innings with 8 K's against the Astros in his first start of the year.
Tanner Houck did not have the most impressive stat line to open the year, giving up 3 runs over 5 innings while striking out 5. The righty, who is rostered in 3.9% of ESPN leagues, still managed to walk away with a win against a tough Orioles offense. His second start should be a lot easier as he matches up against a Tigers team on Saturday that is hitting only .201 to start the season.
