Fantasy Baseball: 4 Pitchers To Stream for Week 9
In a week light on streamer intrigue, rolling out promising Rockies lefty Tyler Anderson for a start at Coors is the type of risk some desperate owners might have to take.

Tyler Anderson, Colorado Rockies

Starts: May 30th vs. Seattle Mariners, June 4th at San Diego Padres

ESPN ownership: 12 percent

You know that the streaming situation is dire when we start with a second-year Colorado Rockies pitcher who opens the week in the unfriendly confines of Coors Field.

Thing is, Tyler Anderson's one home start is against a Seattle team which will have to forgo the designated hitter spot, to say nothing of their league-worst on base plus slugging (OPS) against lefties over the last month.

And to be fair, Anderson has managed a 3.09 ERA and 31.3 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate over his last two home starts. Desperate streamers can hold their nose and roll out the young lefty, taking solace in a weekend date visit to the Padres (a team which boasts the league's least productive offense against lefties) to soften the blow.
